From the Oakfield Primary School
I'm thrilled to welcome you to Oakfield Primary School, a fantastic workplace and an engaging educational environment.
Our most recent Ofsted report, which was released in November 2017, noted that Oakfield is still a good school with exceptional behaviour and student safety.
The community at Oakfield Primary School is quite strong, and the school is kind and accepting.
To guarantee that the approach to teaching, learning, and assessment is consistent, leaders and instructors collaborate.
Students exhibit a passion of learning and are content, well-behaved, and cheerful.
The spirit of the school encourages students to take chances and be resilient.
Students are strongly encouraged to try, apply, and explain what they have learned, and this emphasis permeates the whole curriculum of the school.
The school's work is centred on the leaders' mission to improve student results, which is supported by a strong and dedicated personnel.
Anyone who visits Oakfield will notice the school's continued growth and the great teaching and learning possibilities for our students both inside the classroom and in our expanding outdoor space, "Mighty Oaks."
To ensure that children enjoy and achieve their very best but also leave Oakfield with "memorable moments," we want to concentrate on the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that children need to become successful learners and succeed in a constantly changing world.
We are lucky to have cutting-edge facilities that promote an engaging learning environment for our kids.
In order to engage students and provide them with many WOW factors as well as opportunities to apply fundamental abilities in reading, writing, mathematics, and computing for a genuine purpose and audience, we have devised a thematic curriculum with cross-curricular links.
I am happy to be the head teacher of Oakfield Primary School and am proud of all of the students there.
I'm excited about guiding the school through upcoming changes and challenges.
