At Oaklands we aim to:

 

Work in partnership to provide a happy, secure and nurturing environment where a broad education of the highest quality takes place

 

Provide a creative, stimulating and challenging curriculum, relevant to children’s needs and abilities, through which each child can achieve their best

 

Enable each child to become a respectful, independent individual, ready to meet change and challenge

 

Fundamental British Values of Democracy, Law, Liberty, Respect and Tolerance are modelled by all members of staff to reinforce expectations on how they can be upheld. This can be addressed within the whole school curriculum, to include assemblies, lessons, playtimes and lunchtimes. The Oaklands Code, prominent throughout the school, supports the promotion of our shared values.

 

Our core values are expressed through our mission statement:

 

 

 

 

 

We are committed to equality and to:

 

• the elimination of discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• the advancement of equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it
• fostering good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

 

Our school’s equality objectives are updated each year. Please contact the school for further details.
