Oakington Manor Primary School

[EduCativ]

There are lots of wonderful and exciting things happening at our school. A vision has to be shared and nurtured, it has to incorporate all aspects of the community in which we live and, above all, it has to be built on dreams but also be realistic and achievable. My vision is clear as to the high standards of education that we demand the pupils of Oakington Manor. Children only get one chance at education.
Our vision is to create a safe, caring, and inclusive environment where children feel respected, and are motivated to succeed. Children will enjoy learning and will actively work together to be the best they can. Pupils working together as a team can only accomplish this environment. Whilst standards are good at Oakington Manor, we can never be complacent. We have achieved a great deal and, to fulfill our dream, we will never stop striving for excellence.
Our exceptionally strong ethos of pastoral care exemplifies our commitment to addressing the emotional, as well as educational needs of our learners. We strive to maintain and develop a collaborative atmosphere between staff, parents, and learners to promote racial harmony in an environment of transparency and openness by providing an excellent learning environment. We proudly showcase the work we are doing with 3D technology in our newly built Learning Resource Centre (LRC).
Oakington Manor is a large exciting 3 form entry primary school with 730 pupils. We are located in Wembley, very close to the fabulous Wembley Stadium, home of the Football Association.
Oakington Manor has recently turned into an academy as of April 2016 and is now part of Excellence in Education along with our federated school Furness Primary School.
The curriculum we offer is based on the agreed aims of the school and the provision of a good education with an emphasis on high standards of work, achievement, and conduct. Oakington Manor was built in 1937, however, it was not all built at the same time.
The oldest part of the school is the Main building. Next, just after the war, the white huts were built. This was about 1946. Then, as more children came to the school, the pink and brown huts were built. The school stayed like that for about 20 or 30 years.
In 1995 the school had a new hall and kitchen. Even today more changes are happening, a new nursery, a new ICT suite and library, new classrooms, and a new playground are being built.
At our schools, we ensure that through our school vision, values, rules, diverse curriculum we promote tolerance and respect for all cultures, faiths, and lifestyles. We also ensure that this ethos is reflected and implemented effectively in school policy and practice and that there are rigorous risk assessments in place to safeguard and promote students’ welfare.
We must prepare our children for life in modern Britain and to keep them safe. Pupils who attend our school have the right to learn in safety. We do not tolerate bullying of any kind and will challenge derogatory language and behavior towards others.
Religious education encourages reflection and critical thinking to develop an understanding of how we can celebrate our heritage and home cultures whilst also embracing the commonality of values in different religions. Our circle time supports pupils’ understanding of what it is to live in multicultural British society, to challenge injustice and prejudice. Through our humanities curriculum, we explore pupils’ responsibilities as global citizens and the rule of law, including the role of democratic advocacy for change.
Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts provision that encourages schools to showcase the opportunities they offer in art, dance, drama, and music. We achieved our Gold status again in October 2014.
The world record was for the largest reading lesson in multiple venues involved 2, 735 participants across 27 venues in an event organized by the Evening Standard (UK) as part of their 'Get London Reading' campaign in London, UK, on 26 March 2012.
We are very proud of the award as it reminds our children just what lengths we will go to, to keep them healthy. Good, nourishing freshly cooked food is served daily in our kitchen.
