About Our Lady's Catholic College

Our Lady's Catholic College is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school in Lancaster, part of the Lancashire local authority. It is one of 90 state secondary schools in the area, eight of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The nearest Outstanding school is Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy, just 1.8 kilometres away. Among its local peers, the school sits below the top-performing trio of Preston Muslim Girls High School, Eden Boys' School, Preston, and Holy Cross Catholic High School, which lead the LA on academic ranking scores. With 999 pupils on roll, it is a reasonably sized school for the area, and its headteacher is Helen Seddon. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Requires Improvement, a rating that places it below the majority of Lancashire secondaries and suggests there are clear areas for development that parents will want to investigate further.
