Oakwood Junior School aims to provide a warm, welcoming and supportive environment in which our pupils enjoy working and learning together. We care about the health and well-being of every child and want them to feel safe and secure so that they are able to take risks, are not afraid to make mistakes and can embrace learning. We want the children to be happy and excited about coming to school to learn and to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding across a wide curriculum that celebrates diversity. Our dedicated team aims to help every child to face their individual challenges with courage and determination and to discover their own unique talents and strengths. We are totally committed to removing barriers to learning and developing in each child a love of learning and a shared pride in achievement in all its forms. Our school motto ‘Every child is a learner and can achieve’, reflects our high aspirations and ambitions for children and our drive and determination to ensure that all pupils and adults in the school reach their full potential. We are not complacent by any means and are continually looking for ways in which we can further improve the school.
