This Padlet showcases the many ways our children live out Gospel values and Catholic Social Teaching through prayer, worship, charity work, liturgy and service to others. It reflects our mission to ensure every child feels Successful, Unique, Caring, Happy and Valued as they grow in faith and learning.
We hope this page gives you an insight into the vibrant Catholic life of our school community and the special experiences shared by our children, families, staff and parish.
The Catholic life of the school is rich in opportunities for children to encounter God and to deepen their relationship with Him as a loving, compassionate Father. Through prayer, both traditional and informal, through liturgies and Religious Education lessons, where children receive direct teaching of the faith, through the relationships and support for each other that children, staff and parents enjoy within the school community, we enable children to come to know and love God.
The Christian values at the heart of our Catholic faith incorporate the British values and we aim in everything we do to further each child’s sense of commitment and responsibility to themselves, to others and in the wider world.
All staff, led by the Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher, R.E Leader and Governors are aware that the school’s foundations are built on the Catholic faith and beliefs and that it is our shared responsibility to transmit the Catholic faith to the children in our care. All staff receive regular in-service training as part of their continuous professional development. Staff pray and work together to support each other in providing the very best Religious Education possible for the pupils.
Learning in RE is at the core of the curriculum and we ensure that the Bishop’s directive is followed in allocating 10% of curriculum time to RE lessons. The Governing Body, led by the Chair and the Governor responsible for RE, provide outstanding support and commitment to the central place of RE in the school.
We hold the belief that we share the role of educators of the faith with the parents of our pupils and we strive to keep them fully informed of what their child is learning at school and to support them in what they can do at home to further their child’s understanding of the faith. Parents are welcomed to assemblies, Masses and other liturgies throughout the year.

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
