From the Oughterside Primary School
The view from our school is as clear as our vision. This is a small, happy school where children feel safe and comfortable and where we seek to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for success through development-appropriate instruction that allows for individual differences and learning styles. We support each child's growth in a nurturing environment as they develop their personalities and abilities. Our kids feel respected and heard, which encourages them to keep going and develop. They will gain the ability to assume accountability, practise tolerance, improve their sense of self-worth, and grow more self-assured. The school will spearhead its own development, set its own high standards, and acknowledge that we can constantly improve for the sake of our students. We work hard to develop youngsters into self-assured, imaginative future builders. Our attention is on the entire child. Our students are inspired to approach academic issues with curiosity, zeal, and a desire to find solutions. We provide a strong emphasis on each child's holistic development, including their academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. High standards will be combined with an extensive, well-balanced, and rich curriculum. The merger of excellence and enjoyment in education will take place. Please contact Miss Hodgson in the office if you would like a hard copy of any information on our school website. Please follow us on Facebook if you want to stay informed about what is occurring in the classroom.
