Oakfield Community Primary School Homepage

It is with great pride and pleasure that I welcome you to Oakfield Community Primary & Nursery School. We are ‘a family of learning and a family for all.’  Our aim is to ensure that everybody feels a sense of belonging - a place to grow in confidence and be safe in your identity - a feeling of being at home.

We believe that every child has the right to be treated individually and uniquely, to be nurtured and encouraged according to their needs, enabling them to flourish. We aim to create a learning environment where children are willing to try, push themselves, take on challenges and risk making mistakes. We instil an attitude in which children look for the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and  to practise and utilise the support of others when needed. We encourage children to embrace those things they find difficult and understand that they may not find it easy ‘yet’.

We want children to become independent learners, who take ownership of their learning. We embrace challenge and through the nurturing and encouraging nature of the school, we ensure that we can all achieve our very best!
