About Our Lady's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Our Lady's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy, is a small Roman Catholic primary in Warrington, serving just 159 pupils against a capacity of 188. Within the local authority's 69 primary schools, it sits among a competitive field: the top-ranked peers include Bruche Primary School Academy, Stretton St Matthew's CofE Primary School, and Chapelford Village Primary School. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Grappenhall Heys Community Primary School, 2.3 kilometres away. Warrington itself has only six primaries with that top grade, so a Good rating — which Our Lady's has held consistently across its two most recent inspections — puts it in solid company. Headteacher David Gilby leads a school where just over a quarter of pupils (28.9%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the community it serves.
