Our Visions, Values and Ethos

Our Vision

At Oldfield Primary School, we are proud to be an inclusive and nurturing school where every child is challenged, inspired, and motivated to become a confident, successful, and caring citizen in today’s diverse world.

We strive to create a vibrant and welcoming environment where children feel safe, valued, and happy — a place where they are encouraged to aim high, grow as individuals, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our Ethos

At the heart of Oldfield Primary is a belief that every child matters and every success counts. Our ethos is rooted in participation, positivity, and partnership. We are committed to:

• Creating a welcoming and respectful school community where every voice is heard, every individual is valued, and every child takes pride in their achievements.

• Being a central part of our local community, working together with families, governors, and wider society to build meaningful connections that enrich our school and our children's experiences.

• Celebrating every success, big or small, and encouraging perseverance and resilience in the face of challenge.

• Promoting excellence in learning by providing high-quality teaching that sparks curiosity and a passion for learning.

• Encouraging independence, ambition, and responsibility so that every pupil believes they can succeed and actively shapes their own learning journey.

• Recognising and nurturing the individual strengths and talents of every child, supporting them to thrive both academically and personally.

At Oldfield, we believe that by working together — staff, pupils, families, and the wider community — we can build a future where every child thrives.
