Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Primary School (commonly abbreviated to OLOL) is a primary school in The Limes Avenue, near Bowes Road, in Arnos Grove in the London Borough of Enfield. The school opened in 1971 [2]. An ICT suite was built at the school in 2001, and the school won achievement awards from the DfES in 2001, 2002 and 2003. The school has recently had a rapid increase in the number of after school clubs offered, although it remains a single form entry school. It is also, strangely but incorrectly, well known in most of Enfield for having no corridors.

The school's houses are named after important places in the life of Jesus. Each house has its own colour:

[edit] Performance

Pupils at Our Lady of Lourdes regularly achieve high results in their KS2 tests - in 2006 the school topped the Enfield primary school league table, with an aggregate score of 300 (out of 300). Interestingly Garfield Primary School, which is very close to Our Lady of Lourdes, was second from bottom of the table in the same year. [3]
