IQM -Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School Review March 2026
Thank you to our parents, staff and governors who were part of the robust assessment day.
Due to the great success of last Years’ Careers and Aspirations Weeks; we are hoping to do the same this summer for two weeks beginning, Monday 15th June 2026.
Of course, if you would like to come at a different time to suit your work commitments, you would definitely still be very welcome!
Parents and friends who came last year were absolutely fabulous and the children thoroughly enjoyed their input. They were inspired!
We hope that our parents/carers will be happy to come again this year.
Many thanks in advance for your continued support!
Please contact Mrs Brown or your child’s teacher if you are interested in supporting us in this initiative.
Dear all,
I hope you’re all well rested after the Easter break.
I’m really pleased to share the most recent list and Newsletter of upcoming community events taking place through Beautiful New Beginnings CIC, which I’ve attached for you to pass on to your families. These include a variety of forest schools, family mindfulness sessions, SEND parents’ coffee evenings, stay and plays, water wellbeing and lots more!
Best of all, your families can access these meaningful experiences and support without the worry of high expenses. One of the most rewarding aspects of working alongside a Community Interest Company is our shared commitment to making opportunities accessible for all. We work incredibly hard to secure funding so that these events are either completely free or heavily subsidised.
We are passionate about providing families with valuable, enjoyable experiences and support, without having to be placed on a long waiting list first, in friendly and welcoming environments. We can’t wait to welcome your families.
Please do feel free to share this information on your parent/carer forums, and do let me know if you’d like any additional details.

Dear all,
Congratulations, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone in our school community.
We are delighted to share that we have received confirmation of our ongoing IQM Centre of Excellence status. This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the dedication, care, and commitment shown by staff, students, and families alike.
Attached is the full report, which highlights a number of truly outstanding and inclusive practices across our school. If you don’t have time to read it in full, here are a few key quotes that capture the essence of what has been recognised:
“Inclusion is at the very heart of the school… it is the culture of the school.”
“Our Lady Immaculate has continued to exemplify inclusivity.”
“The school has such a commitment to ensuring that everyone receives a strong curriculum offer and that ‘nobody misses out’.”
Highlighted is strong inclusion & community impact:
“The level of support and nurture out of school for children and families is excellent and should be considered exceptional practice.”
“A strong sense of community and school family exists.”
“Parents described the school as: “we are one family” and spoke of “settled anxiety”.
Thank you once again for your continued support and for the vital role each of you plays in making our school such a special place.
Kind regards,
Mrs Chris Bowcock & Mrs Julie Brown.

This week is National Storytelling Week. Why not celebrate with us!
Remember to read to your child or tell them a story during this week. They may like to read to you too or tell you a story!
This annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world; they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy; they help us to relax and escape.
Enjoy this week with your children!

Let us celebrate together reading for pleasure and reading together as a family. Help to make reading an enjoyable activity to do at home and in school. Together we can build confident, curious readers in our homes and in our classrooms. It just takes 5-10 minutes reading at home each day to make a difference.
Follow your child’s passions – football, music, dance, gaming…ignite that spark that brings reading to life!
Reading doesn’t just mean books. It includes stories, ideas, information texts, digital, audio and graphic novels…

Dear Parents and Carers,
As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and ensuring the safety of all pupils and staff, we will be carrying out a practise lockdown drill today.
This is in line with our statutory duty and the principles outlined in Martyn’s Law, which aims to strengthen security and preparedness in public spaces, including schools. The purpose of this drill is to ensure that everyone knows what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency situation.
Please be assured that this will be done sensitively and in an age-appropriate way. Staff will explain the process to pupils in a calm and reassuring manner, emphasising that this is simply a precautionary measure—similar to our regular fire drills. Our priority is to make sure children feel safe and supported throughout.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school community safe.
Yours Sincerely
Mrs L Partington
