Our Lady's RC Primary School Wigan

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 March 2023

Pupils positively flourish in this nurturing and caring environment. They enjoy a vast array of exciting and stimulating activities in the school. Children in the early years blossom. They quickly become confident and resilient learners. Leaders have the very highest aspirations for pupils, both in their academic achievement and their behaviour. Pupils are passionate about learning and relish every opportunity that staff provide. Their conduct and attitudes embody the school's mission statement: 'Learning and loving together, we grow with Jesus.' Leaders provide extremely well for pupils' wider development. Pupils make an exemplary contribution to both their school and wider community. They spoke animatedly about taking part in the 'Big Sleep Out' as part of a fundraising project to support charities for the homeless. Pupils bask in the warm and caring relationships that staff provide. Leaders and staff work tirelessly, so that pupils are happy and safe. Leaders deal swiftly and effectively with any rare incidents of unkind behaviour, including bullying. Parents and carers who shared their views could not praise the school highly enough. One parent summed up the views of many, 'All the staff go above and beyond to provide an outstanding education for our children's futures.'
