From the St Oswald's CofE Primary School
Each child is valued and respected at St. Oswald's Church of England (CE) Primary School, a one-form entrance school. We also have a nursery where kids from the age of two can receive full- or part-time care. We also provide wraparound care during term time. The Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust includes us (DoWMAT). "The clear Christian ethos is confidently articulated by all stakeholders and permeates all areas of school life demonstrating a caring and nurturing community. The school motto 'Inspire, Embrace, Succeed' comes from its distinctively Christian vision, which is rooted in John 10:10, 'I came so that they may have life and life to its fullest'." March 2017 SIAMs Inspection Report. Our aim is to provide a caring, safe, secure and stimulating environment where your child is encouraged to become a self-confident, self disciplined and motivated learner. The goal of the entire staff is to give the kids the greatest education possible. We want you to get active in your child's education because we think that the relationship between parents and the school is crucial. They strive to get the best performance possible from your child in all areas, including academics, morals, the arts, and sports. The children's excellent attitudes toward work, decent manners, and well-behaved behaviour will demonstrate the achievement of this goal.
