A message from our Headteacher: 

Welcome to Oak Tree Primary School

As the Head Teacher, I am incredibly proud to welcome you to our school and website. I
hope browsing these pages gives you a true flavour of our vibrant culture, our dedicated
team, and the wonderful children who make our school community so special.

Nothing, however, can truly replace the experience of a live visit. To get a genuine sense of our warm, welcoming atmosphere, I warmly encourage all prospective parents to contact the school office. We would love to register you for one of our regular school tours, where you can see our classrooms in action, meet our senior leadership team, and ask any questions you may have.

Rooted in Values: Our OAK Journey

At Oak Tree, we believe that positive relationships are the bedrock of a successful learning environment. Children must feel happy, safe, and secure to truly achieve their potential. We challenge, excite, and encourage our pupils through three core values that guide everything we do:

• Opportunity (Inspired by Malala Yousafzai): We believe that education is a powerful right. We are dedicated to removing glass ceilings and providing every child with the opportunity to learn, grow, and confidently use their voice.
• Ambition (Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.): We encourage our children to dream big and "have a go". We nurture enthusiastic, engaged learners who have the drive, confidence, and determination to challenge themselves and make a difference.
• Kindness (Inspired by Sir David Attenborough): We foster an inclusive, empathetic community built on respect for one another, our environment, and all forms of life.

A True Partnership

We know that "positive parent participation" is invaluable to a child's progress and happiness. The relationship between home and school is key, which is why we actively host parent information evenings, welcome classroom volunteers, and keep you fully informed about your child's learning journey.

We are also incredibly lucky to have ROOTS (Representatives of Oak Tree School), our
vibrant and hardworking parent-teacher association. They bring our community together
with fantastic events while raising vital funds to enrich our children's school experience.

In a nutshell, our entire team is totally committed to providing the children of Oak Tree with
the very best education possible within a secure, happy, and stimulating environment.

Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to welcoming you to our school
soon.

Warmest regards,

Mrs. Christine Slater
Head Teacher

Our School Strapline: Achieve Together, Aspire Together, Grow Together

Our School core values are: 

Tolerance, Respect, Equality, Empathy, Responsibility, Honesty and Friendship.

Our School vision is that you will see: 

• Happy and self-assured children, safe in the knowledge that they will be treated with warmth and respect, that they will be listened to and be heard.

• Children who feel confident enough to “have a go” and challenge themselves where glass ceilings are removed.

• Enthusiastic and engaged children who feel challenged and supported in their learning as well as excited by the creative curriculum which they have contributed to.

• Smiling, welcoming staff, confident in their roles knowing that they are well supported, and valued as an integral part of the team.

• Supportive and engaged parents who are confident in the knowledge that their children’s emotional well-being and self esteem is being nurtured and developed.

• Proud parents who recognise the academic progress their children are making because they are kept fully informed about their child’s progress and they feel part of their child’ learning journey.

Our School aims are: 

• To provide a secure, happy and stimulating environment in which children will be well motivated to learn.

• To value each child in their own right irrespective of ability, gender or background and to provide them with the opportunities of access to curriculum and to give each the confidence and motivation to meet challenges at work and leisure.

• to develop and foster children’s self esteem to enable them to take their place in society and to help them to understand and carry out their responsibilities as citizens.

• To provide a broad and balanced curriculum which meets the needs of all children, providing opportunities to think logically, critically and creatively and where they are enabled to work independently and cooperatively to fulfil their potential.

• To demonstrate and foster a positive attitude towards work and to recognise and respect one another’s achievements.

• To value each person’s contribution to our school and to work together to achieve excellence.

• To teach and foster self discipline and respect for people, property and all forms of life in order to achieve and maintain high standards of behaviour and good relationships.

• To nurture the children’s social, moral, spiritual and cultural development, providing opportunities to acquire and discuss personal values and beliefs enabling them to understand, respect and value those of others.

• To work with parents forming a partnership based on trust and mutual understanding in the best interests of the children; to form and foster links with the local and wider community.

• To make the best use of all available resources to achieve the best possible outcomes.
