Our Diocesan Mission:

Forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice.

At Our Lady of Compassion, we are proud to be part of the Archdiocese of Birmingham's vision for Catholic education, where every child is called to flourish academically, spiritually and personally.

At the heart of this vision is the formation of Christ-centred pupils who are inspired by the teachings of Jesus, equipped with knowledge and understanding, and motivated to serve others. Through prayer, worship, Religious Education, Catholic Social Teaching and opportunities for service, we encourage our children to put their faith into action and make a positive difference in the world around them.

Our strong partnerships with families, the parish and wider community help create a genuine sense of belonging, ensuring that every child feels valued, supported and loved. Together, we strive to nurture confident, compassionate young people who are ready to live out our mission:

"To Live as Jesus Taught Us."

This commitment enables our children not only to achieve and succeed, but to flourish as faithful disciples, responsible citizens and lifelong learners.

Our Faith

Religious Education lies at the heart of life at Our Lady of Compassion. Rooted in our mission, values and Catholic identity, faith permeates every aspect of school life and underpins our curriculum. Through prayer, worship, service and learning, we nurture the spiritual growth of every child. By fostering strong partnerships between home, school and parish, we support our children in deepening their relationship with God and living as faithful disciples of Christ.

 

Prayer and Liturgy

Our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do at Our Lady of Compassion. We encourage our pupils to deepen their relationship with God and to live out Gospel values in their daily lives. Through a rich programme of prayer, worship and liturgical celebrations, our children learn to respond with reverence, respect and joy, both within school and in the wider community.

The celebration of the Eucharist and prayer are central to our school life. Working closely with our parish, our Parish Priests regularly celebrate Mass with us, including whole-school, phase and chapel Masses, as well as feast days and Holy Days of Obligation.

Our acts of worship are carefully planned and rooted in the liturgical life of the Church, providing meaningful opportunities for reflection, participation and spiritual growth. Through these experiences, we help our children to grow in faith and live as Jesus taught us.
