Catholic Life of the School
At Our Lady of Lourdes pupils are encouraged to think, pray and give to others. We have a number of charities which we support throughout the year.
Gianna Project - When a Child is Born
Every Christmas parents and children donate items suitable for new born babies. These are distributed to new mothers in the diocese.

The Good Shepherd
Catholic Care provide huge support to the pupils and families in our school and throughout the Diocese. Every Lent our children hold a range of fundraising events to raise money for the Good Shepherd Appeal. In May our pupils attend the Good Shepherd Celebration and present a cheque to the Bishop.
Forget me not Hospice
Since it opened, our school has formed close links with the hospice. Pupils have visited to see how they support poorly children and their families. Our choir have recently sung at fundraising events and we have held dress up days to raise money.
MacMillan Nurses
Sadly many people have been affected by, or know someone affected by, cancer. Each September we host a bun sale, coffee morning and non uniform day to show our support for the MacMillan Nurses. As well as MacMillan Nurses we have also promoted World Cancer Day on 4th February 2016.
As well as giving to charity pupils are encouraged to look after the world around them. Our children do this by recycling in school, growing their own vegetables and looking after our chickens in the allotment.
