We are a "family" with high expectations for each and every person in our neighbourhood, and respect is at the core of all we do. After receiving a "Good" rating from Ofsted in December 2018, it is an exciting time for OA-Th. With our amazing new building and facilities, I am sure we can do great things. I want OA-Th to be an integral part of the neighbourhood; an inclusive school that will enable kids to acquire the skills they need to enjoy learning and offer our students the self-assurance and resiliency they need to succeed. At OA-Th, we are convinced that every student has the ability to realise their potential and is encouraged to strive to be the best version of themselves in all area of their lives.
