Our Lady’s Catholic Academy strives to provide a happy, secure and caring environment which fosters love and acknowledgement of Christ’s presence as central to personal, social and academic experiences and achievements.  We are committed to and recognise the importance of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing for all.

Our Mission Statement is: "With God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19.26)

At Our Lady’s Catholic Academy, we encourage our children to believe that 'Anything is Possible' aiming to provide the best primary education in a stimulating environment, so that every child realises his or her potential. We instil a love of learning inspired by quality teaching, nurturing and developing individual strengths and talents. We believe every child is entitled to enjoy his or her childhood, whilst preparing pupils to become world class learners. We encourage and celebrate creativity, original thinking and imagination as well as effort and achievement. We teach the importance of moral values and showing consideration for others.

Our vision and values reflect the Gospel and British values which are at the core of everything that we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.  It is important that within the school we all live and breathe these values every day in order that they are understood by pupils, staff, all parents and the wider community.

The fantastic team of dedicated staff ensure the needs of each individual child are met; working closely with parents and carers to enable pupils to make excellent progress and reach their full potential.  We are very proud of our Ofsted report where behaviour was judged to be outstanding. Our pupils are 'proud of their school and have exceptionally positive attitudes to learning.' 

We are part of St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi Academy Trust which is a growing family of 63 schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham, united by a shared mission to deliver excellent Catholic education that transforms lives.

We are inspired by St Gabriel the Archangel and guided by five values that shape our culture: Confidence & Humility, Peace & Courage, Faith in the Impossible, Listening with Love and Service Beyond Self. These values drive our commitment to helping every pupil and colleague flourish within our Trust.
