Oakfield Primary School
Welcome to Oakfield Primary School
One of the greatest assets that a school has is the people who work in it, and the staff at Oakfield are outstanding. Their hard work and commitment is second to none. So please, come along and see us at work – you will be made most welcome..
Welcome to the Oakfield Primary School website and thank you for your interest in our school. We are very proud of the sense of family that exists at Oakfield- it is a place where adults and children care for each other, encourage each other, work as a team and celebrate effort and achievement together. Indeed, our motto is ‘Achieving our Best Together,’ because we know that this leads to the most positive outcomes for our children.
Preparing our children for a successful, ambitious and happy future.
All aspects of our policies and practices in school are underpinned by the values we uphold and the way the whole school and community interacts with each other. We expect everyone to be responsible for their own behaviour, to respect the rights of others and share our values.
Our website is designed to give you some key information and hopefully encourage you to come along and find out what makes our school so special! At Oakfield, our children thrive in a warm, friendly atmosphere of mutual respect and trust, as we know that children learn best if they feel safe and happy. We believe that Oakfield is a wonderfully nurturing environment, where children flourish and grow to become independent, resilient and responsible young people who are excited about life and learning. We provide our children with a creative and innovative curriculum through which they are encouraged to ask questions, think creatively to solve problems, collaborate with peers and develop skills that will lay the foundations for them to become successful 21st century adults.
Enquire Learning Trust - What We Offer
The key test for any activity generated within the Enquire Learning Trust should be: how does this impact upon learning in classrooms? All of the systems, processes, and activities we generate should be focused on improving the quality of teaching and, thereby, outcomes for children. We need to create the conditions for all children to become successful learners.
- Inclusive – provision should meet the needs of learners of all abilities, with aspirational targets set for every child.
- Focused on achievement – ensuring opportunities are created for all children to reach their academic potential.
- Meaningful and relevant – meeting children where they are and guiding them to where they need to be.
- Build confidence and self-esteem – so that all children believe they can be successful learners.
- Develop habits for learning – habits that children will use throughout their education and beyond.
- Be INSPIRATIONAL – creative and imaginative teaching that inspires a love of learning in every child.
This is what we should see, hear, and feel in every Enquire Learning Trust academy.
