About Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, which contains 292 primary schools. It currently ranks 78th among them, placing it comfortably in the top third of the city’s primaries. For context, the top-performing schools in the same LA include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which sit at the very top of the local rankings. Our Lady of Lourdes is a mixed-gender state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a Roman Catholic religious character and a current roll of 220 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is slightly over capacity.
