Oakridge is a well equipped, forward thinking school, seeking to work in a close partnership with teachers and governors, children, parents, church and the village community.
We seek to nurture those Christian qualities, skills and attitudes that will enable the children to develop into happy, responsible, confident young people, well adjusted to living in a demanding and ever changing society.
We encourage pupils to take responsibility for, and full advantage from, a learning situation which keeps up to date, whilst appreciating our tradition and culture
We aim to plan and deliver an appropriate curriculum for a small rural school. This is founded upon the principle of meeting the progressive needs of all the children at the school and delivering the programmes of study for each subject contained in the National Curriculum. We aim:
- To foster awareness of the arts, music, science, technology and literature.
- To value the individual.
- To develop an understanding of the interdependence between people and their environment.
- To encourage spiritual and moral development and an understanding of other faiths, cultures and societies, as well as our own.
- To support self evaluation by both staff and children.
- To provide the resources required to teach the school curriculum and equal opportunities for all children to participate in it.
- To develop a partnership with parents and the community that benefits the school.
