Here at New Oscott Primary, we strive to put our children first. We are proud to be highly regarded within our local community as a caring and high-achieving school, which is very firmly committed to providing the very richest, high-quality curriculum for all our pupils. One of the distinctive characteristics of our school is the friendly, supportive atmosphere in which everyone feels valued and secure. We are proud to be a caring school where the well-being and development of every individual are of paramount importance. We are passionate about learning and aim for every child to have a happy and active primary education. Our enthusiastic and dedicated staff provide a well-planned and challenging education of a high standard within a stimulating and supportive environment in which all children are encouraged to reach their full potential. We treat all our pupils individually, developing their sense of worth and confidence, and encourage unique talents to flourish in every child. Education is a partnership between home and school and we place a great deal of emphasis on our partnership with parents. We believe that children learn best when home and school work together for their benefit. All maintained schools must meet the Education Act 2002 to promote the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of their pupils. The expectation is that through ensuring SMSC development, schools can also demonstrate that they are actively promoting fundamental British values. Fundamental British values are described as ‘democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. SMSC development incorporates collective worship the development of relationships throughout the school and engagement in activities beyond the classroom. The promoting of British values builds on all of our existing work to develop our positive ethos with our children, for example for children to regard all people, regardless of faith, race, and culture, with respect and tolerance. Within school, this would include children with disabilities and a range of special needs. At New Oscott we place learning at the heart of all that we do. We are keen to develop independent, reflective learners with the ability to assess their learning potential and increase their capacity to learn as they develop in age and maturity. We want to equip children with the skills, techniques, and vocabulary to talk about their learning more effectively. Building Learning Power is the mechanism through which we are enabling this.
