iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Oliver Tomkins Nursery and Infant and Oliver Tomkins Junior Church of England VA Schools. At Oliver Tomkins, we strive to ensure our school is one with a happy and caring environment. We take pride in promoting the highest standards of conduct, behaviour and achievement allowing children the security and confidence to reach their full potential.
Our school Vision is taken from the Bible: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 We live our Vision through three words: aspiration, thriving and wellness. This means that we focus on facilitating high aspirations for all and aim for all of our community to thrive.
We strive for wellness for all which means that every member of the school community feels valued and respected and that each person is treated fairly and well.
