Admissions to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School & Nursery
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families. The Governing Body has sole responsibility for admissions.
We request that all parents and carers applying for a place respect the aims, attitudes, values, expectations and commitment of this voluntary aided Catholic School.
We warmly welcome pupils and families of other faiths to be considered for a place at our school.

In-Year Applications
An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to the school by completing the in-year admissions application form available via the school website
