On behalf of the staff, governors and children, we warmly welcome you to our school family. We are a village school, based in the heart of the beautiful village of Orston.

 

Our school strives to be creative, inspiring, challenging, memorable and to provide all children with opportunities where doors are opened to dream for the future.  Encompassed within our vision, is the need for pupils to be exposed to a range of experiences that broadens their understanding and equips them with the skills needed to be successful, confident, life-long learners who reach their full potential.

 

We have high expectations for our pupils learning journey and have some main drivers that underpin our curriculum to ensure it is enriched, personalised and aspirational. Aspiration – We want our pupils and staff to have high expectations of learning. Children are encouraged to aim high and to be open to possibilities at school and beyond. Possibilities – Children cannot aspire to things they have never encountered. We will work to broaden our children’s horizons, expanding their knowledge of the world of the work by nurturing their interests as well as encouraging fearlessness of what is new or unknown. Adventure – We are passionate about the health of our children. We want our children to be excited by the real world, engaging in rich experiences to develop imagination. We want our children to develop confidence and allow them to manage real risks by having fun. Community – We want our children to develop a sense of pride in themselves and respect for others.

 

Our dedicated staff, governors, parent partnerships and wider community, work hard to ensure that our children feel safe, happy and secure in all that they do. We welcome the opportunity to be involved in village life. Education is about partnership, about the whole school community working together to provide the very best education for our children. They are children for such a short time and it is our responsibility to ensure that they are given the best start possible and that their learning foundations are strong.
