About Us

Our Mission here at OLMC…

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Primary School is a community centred in Christ. Teaching is permeated by the Gospel values and the traditions of our Catholic faith.

We seek to promote a happy, stimulating and caring environment in which each person is valued as an individual with unique talents. The curriculum and activities of the school are carefully framed so that each pupil may fulfil his or her potential and know success. Each will grow in awareness of his or her role within the family, the school and society and be sustained by a deepening relationship with God.

Choosing your child’s school is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. As a Catholic school, the basis of our mission is to value and respect every person as an individual, made in the image of Christ. Strong emphasis is placed on pastoral care and all staff are fully committed to promoting the well-being of every child.

The nurturing of the positive attitude is essential if pupils are to become successful learners, striving for excellence and achievement in all areas of the curriculum to bring out the very best in every child. All this is firmly secured by a solid spiritual and moral foundation, based on Gospel values that give us all hope and direction in our ever-changing world.

We are immensely proud of our wonderful children, parents and staff. Look what we have achieved together!

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we reach the end of another wonderful school year, I wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support throughout the year.

When I look back over the past twelve months, there is so much to celebrate. We have witnessed fantastic sporting achievements, impressive academic successes, and countless moments of personal growth. More importantly, we have made wonderful memories together as a school family. From special events and celebrations to everyday moments of learning and laughter, our children have continued to make us proud.

Our school is much more than a place of learning; it is a community, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a fabulous one. The support, encouragement and kindness shown by our families help to make OLMC the special place that it is.

A huge thank you must go to the Friends of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Their contribution to school life is simply incredible. Not only do they work tirelessly to raise valuable funds that benefit all of our children, but they also bring so much joy, fun and community spirit to our school. We are truly grateful for everything they do.

I would also like to thank our wonderful staff. Their dedication, care and commitment to the children never go unnoticed. They work incredibly hard every day to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and challenged to be the very best they can be. I am privileged to work alongside such a talented and caring team.

On a personal note, I would like to thank you for the support you have shown me during my second year as Headteacher. Leading OLMC is a privilege that I never take for granted, and being part of such a wonderful school family means so much to me. Your kindness, encouragement and trust are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to continuing our journey together in the years ahead.

As we say goodbye for the summer, we also say a special farewell to our Year 6 children. They have been a truly wonderful year group and exceptional ambassadors for our school. They have represented OLMC with pride, kindness and determination, and we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved. We wish them every success and happiness as they begin the next exciting chapter of their education. They will always remain part of the OLMC family.

I hope that the summer holidays provide everyone with an opportunity to rest, relax and enjoy precious family time together. Please stay safe, make lots of happy memories, and take time to recharge over the six-week break.

We look forward to welcoming you all back in September, refreshed and ready for another exciting year.

With sincere thanks and best wishes,

Mrs Philippa Martin
