Every child is an individual

On behalf of the pupils, staff and governors of Orchard Primary School I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and thank you for taking the time to find out more about our school.

We welcome pupils from our rich and diverse local community and are committed to developing your child as an individual. We provide a rich and challenging curriculum which enables each child to develop a range of knowledge and skills and we hope to provide a happy and stimulating environment where your child can flourish and succeed. You have an important part to play in your child’s learning and we are committed to working in partnership with you. We believe that children learn best when home and school work together for their benefit.

Children are expected to behave well and we pride ourselves on the strong sense of mutual respect within the school community where there is an emphasis on developing confidence, self-respect and a sense of responsibility. Above all we are proud that our school is a happy and caring place where everyone is valued.

Parents and visitors are welcome to come and look around and members of staff are happy to spend time answering any questions you may have – please ring to arrange a mutually convenient time. We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
