Not all pupils or families connected to OLR are Roman Catholic. St At Our Lady of the Rosary we welcome children of any faith, and of no faith at all, and the religious convictions and personal conscience of individual pupils and their families are acknowledged and respected at all times.

OLR has a duty to proclaim the Gospel and offer education based on the values and teachings of the Catholic Church and it is presumed that parents and carers who enrol their child in the school are consciously choosing this ethos and learning environment for their son or daughter. Parents who, for some reason, wish to withdraw their child from religious observance should make an appointment with the Head Teacher to discuss their specific concerns and find a solution.
