  • Aspiration ~ Responsibility ~ Kindness

    Welcome to our School

    A warm welcome to Oldway Primary School from Headteacher Emma Bamber.

    Our school values 'Aspiration, Responsibility and Kindness' are fundamental to all aspects of school life, for both children and staff, and we look forward to celebrating them during the year. We aspire to be the best we can be, whatever our role; we aim for all members of our school community to be responsible citizens, and we promote kindness in our community at all times. 

  • "The school is a calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils are well mannered and demonstrate positive social skills during play. Children in the early years engage confidently in activities such as role play, where they listen well to each other and take turns."
