From the Oliver Goldsmith Primary School
Ofsted claims that Oliver Goldsmith "It's a good school, says. Strong leadership, an inclusive culture, and a focus on supporting and upholding one another's rights by all staff and students are essential to the school's success ". The students get along well with one another and respect one another's cultural traditions. They make a remarkable contribution to the community at large and the school. The majority of us are, or have been, parents of students at the school. The Board of Governors is made up of parents, community members, and employees. We are in charge of establishing the school's "strategic direction," prioritising its goals, and continuously assessing the institution's success. In addition to promoting excellence in teaching and learning, we determine the budget and keep tabs on how it is used. We also work to make sure that every student at the school is well-cared for and receives the greatest education possible. If you wish to learn more about the school and what we do, you are welcome to come to the meetings we host each term. We hope you enjoy reading about life at OGPS; there is a wealth of information about the school on this website. If you have any comments or questions, kindly get in touch with me or one of the other governors; you can do so through the school office. Oliver Goldsmith has a strong ethos, and we are all quite proud of his accomplishments. The efforts and accomplishments of the staff, parents, and of course the kids, never cease to astound me. I sincerely hope you enjoy your visit here. Visit our Governors sites to learn more about who we are, what we do, and how you may join us. Please get in touch with the school office if you need a paper copy of any of the information you discovered there.
