From the headteacher's welcome: "Our Lady's provides a caring, stable, intellectually and creatively stimulating environment for children. Our staff are committed to ensuring that your child's time at school is inspiring and productive, so that they can move confidently to the next stage of their education. Our Lady's serves the local community by welcoming children from all faiths and children with no faith background."

The school runs a breakfast club from 8:00am, from £1 per day.

On phones, the school says: "The mobile phone must be handed to the class teacher on arrival at school."
