It is our intention to provide a website that will help parents, carers and visitors understand more about teaching and learning at Mile Oak and our school community. I am honoured to lead such a fantastic school where we are determined to support both children and staff as well as our local community in fulfilling their individual goals.
We are a school committed to celebrating our community and firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school. We regard you as an active partner in your child's education and value your interest and support. At Mile Oak we believe that a happy child is one who will enjoy learning in a positive, inclusive and fun environment.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that each and every child is valued as an individual and fulfils their potential ready for the next stage in their education.
