A love of learning, for life, for all Welcome to Orleans Primary from our school community, staff and pupils. Orleans Primary has been serving the community of Richmond Upon Thames for over a century and became a primary school in 2012. We see ourselves as the village school in the heart of the city.
We take pride in our offering of a broad, academic and ambitious curriculum for our children, grounded in our core school values. These core values (Excellence, Responsibility, Collaboration and Compassion) are fundamental to our school life and to our provision of an inclusive and engaging environment that instils a love of learning, for life, for all.
The ambitious curriculum enables all pupils to develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in the next stage of their education. In addition, we are committed to nurturing each childs strengths and interests while addressing their individual developmental needs.
Through our aspiration for excellence, we strive to help our children become successful, responsible and compassionate citizens.
