Oatlands Infant School

At Oatlands Infant School, staff believe that every child – regardless of their background – has a right to an incredible education filled with exciting experiences, both in school and within the community.

They have the highest expectations of all children in their care regarding their learning and behaviour and take pride in the kindness and compassion shown by all pupils and staff. The expectation of pupils to be ‘Ready, Respectful, and Safe’ form the backbone of what makes a successful learner, and staff love celebrating children’s successes as they demonstrate these dispositions throughout their learning journeys.

 As an infant school, they specialise in creating holistic learning experiences that support children in developing into well-rounded, productive members of tomorrow’s society. The curriculum is broad and balanced, and children learn in a safe space where they can intrepidly take risks and try new things. Learning is not purely academic: staff home in on children’s social, emotional, physical and creative needs to ensure that all children’s skills are celebrated, and all children’s needs are met.

 At the core of everything that Oatlands Infant School does lie the school values:

 Nurture + Inspire = Happy

School should be a place filled with joy, challenge, triumph and, above all, love. The team at Oatlands Infant School see it as their job, as educators, to nurture and inspire children to be the best that they can be. It is their duty to create a space in which children feel loved, respected and safe whilst plunging headfirst into their learning.
