[EduCativ]

At Oak Lodge, we pride ourselves on encouraging a child's enthusiasm and nurturing a love of learning. At the heart of what we do, we want children to enjoy their learning and we work to achieve this in an environment that fosters the traditional values of respect, reliability, and responsibility.

Our excellent staff team is committed to this and to ensuring the highest expectations for every child. We believe education is a partnership between home and school and we want to build a long and rewarding relationship with you, so that your son or daughter may achieve their best and be happy.

Our ultimate goal is to develop children who believe in themselves, who are well-prepared in all respects for the next stage in their education, and well-equipped with the life skills for their future success.

• At Oak Lodge, we aim to create a friendly exciting, and inspiring place to learn where children feel safe and nurtured.
• We want our children to become brave learners, who are willing to try new things and learn from their mistakes so that they can grow into independent and confident young people, well prepared for the next stage in their education.

We are committed to the inclusion of all children. All children, including those with specific learning difficulties, those with physical disabilities, the ablest, and children with English as an additional language are nurtured through a range of strategies, interventions, and support.

We want our children to have a variety of experiences and we are committed to following the requirements of the National Curriculum. Part of this is taught through a topic-based curriculum.

This approach aims to engage and motivate children in their literacy learning, broaden their vocabulary, and enable a deeper understanding of texts also it provides a stimulating, meaningful context for writing. A quality text is used as a basis for learning over several weeks. Children explore and discuss the text through creative activities. They also write in a range of genres as part of the unit.

For the teaching of mathematics, we use a range of resources to supplement our scheme of work. We dedicate a significant amount of time to developing key number concepts each year. This ensures students build their fluency as number sense will affect their success in other areas of mathematics. Building on their knowledge and understanding of numbers children are challenged to develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills.
