Old Road School

At Old Road School, we aim to create a safe and happy school where every individual fulfils their potential, so that they can make a positive contribution to the school and the wider community.

The Headteacher and Staff aim to create an atmosphere in which pupils and teachers can work happily together. This may be realised by developing in the children, a respect for the school and its values and a sense of self-respect for themselves. Without effective discipline, effective learning cannot take place.

We aim to focus upon the positive aspects of children’s behaviour as a means of promoting a sense of self-worth and self-respect. We aim to celebrate children’s achievements and success whenever possible. Pupils receive awards for good work and behaviour and recognition of achievements are celebrated every Friday during whole school assembly when Headteacher’s Certificates are awarded.

• The principal aim of the school is to provide pupils with opportunities to develop their talent within a secure and happy environment
