Our Lady & St Edward's Catholic Primary School
Our school is a happy hard working community in which staff, parents, pupils and parishioners take pride.
We primarily serve the parish of Our Lady & St. Edward’s with a number of children coming from the surrounding districts. Many of our families attend church on a regular basis and are very actively involved in the life of the parish. School and parish enjoy close links.

Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust
Mater Ecclesiae is one of three Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (CMATs) formed by the Diocese of Lancaster to protect, preserve, nourish and enhance the Catholic religion through the establishment, maintenance and development of Catholic schools.
Mater Ecclesiae was formed in 2022 and currently consists of seven Catholic primary schools and one Catholic secondary school. In geographical terms, the Trust extends across Preston and rural Preston and all are within the local authority area of Lancashire. We currently have 287 staff and educate over 2,200 children and young people in our care. Our head office is located in Fulwood, Preston.
Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium funding was introduced in April 2011 and paid using a specific grant based on school census figures for pupils. Pupil premium is additional funding received by schools for each pupil from disadvantaged families or backgrounds. Findings show that, as a group, children who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in time have consistently lower educational attainment than those who have never been eligible for free school meals.
