Oreston Community Academy

Staff and children at Oreston always strive to achieve their very best, and our school has been praised for the excellent range of opportunities for learning that we provide for all. We recognise all children as unique individuals and aim to celebrate and nurture their talents and interests. I am a firm believer that children need to feel safe and happy in order to learn, and I endeavour to ensure every child is valued, supported, and challenged to achieve their full potential. We are a fully inclusive school and have excellent support systems in place to allow all learners to flourish.

Our curriculum is designed to allow children to develop their knowledge through engaging lessons that build on their prior learning. We aim to help children know, do, and remember more as they progress on their learning journey. I believe that a school should be a place where both children and staff are inspired to achieve their best and feel excited about the broad and balanced curriculum on offer, while being given strong encouragement to succeed. 

We work hard as a team to create positive relationships with all our children and families so that we can work in partnership to support every child. I actively encourage parental involvement at all stages of your child's school life. By working together, we can ensure that all children really enjoy coming to school, maintain a love of learning, and make excellent progress at the same time. The staff team and I are available to support you and discuss any matters that concern you.  If you are unable to catch me on the playground, please make an appointment to see me.

We have a strong focus on pupil voice, enabling all children to feel valued as members of our school community. We also have a wide variety of clubs run by staff and parents on offer, including our Lighthouse Club, which offers wraparound care, and a holiday club.

Our Nursery

Our nursery is a teacher-led facility that is fully integrated into the main school academy and is part of the Early Years Team.

It is a social enterprise that offers the best quality and value for our parents and carers from age 3. It mirrors the school day and term dates of the main school, and through shared planning with the rest of the Foundation Team, it offers a completely consistent curriculum that gives our children the very best start.

Our nursery children are able to access all the other school services, including the Before and After School 'Lighthouse Club'.
