About

At Oswald Road, our vision is for children to leave our school as young people who are: (click on the links below to read pupil voice on our visioning words) For this to happen, our vision for the classroom, school and wider community is: Our well-resourced classrooms are a balance of consistency and individuality, where there are many opportunities to develop independence and learning outdoors.

They are a place where children feel valued and nurtured, where not knowing is learning and where risk-taking and mistake-making are celebrated. There is a culture where learning extends beyond the classroom and embraces the 21st century.
