Our Values, British Values and Vision

‘Together We Learn’

At Oldfield Park Infant School we value and respect all children and each other as individuals. We believe in providing a happy, safe and positive environment in which creativity, personal development and a love of learning will flourish.

The children are at the heart of everything we do.

Oldfield Park Infant School is a welcoming and friendly community school where an emphasis is placed on the needs of the individual child. We work hard to acknowledge each child’s strengths and needs and to provide a supportive personalised curriculum. We aim to be inclusive in our practice and celebrate diversity within our school community. Children are nurtured and helped to grow and develop personally and socially as well as academically.

Our School Values

Our school values reflect our commitment to our trust as well as the whole Oldfield Park community. Indeed, although two seperate schools, our values are the same as Oldfield Park Junior School which illustrates the strength of the link between OPIS, OPJS and Oldfield Park community.
