" I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" John 10:10

 

Welcome to SS Osmund & Andrew’s.

As Headteacher, it is with immense pride and warmth that I welcome you and your family to our wonderful school community. Choosing the right primary school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your child, and I am delighted that you are considering joining the family here at SS Osmund & Andrew’s.

When you step through our doors, you will immediately feel the vibrant, nurturing atmosphere that makes our school so special. I have the distinct honour of leading a community that truly embodies its values and strives for excellence in every area of school life.

Our Fantastic Children

The heart of our school is, of course, our fantastic children. They are enthusiastic, curious, and full of life, creating a joyous and inspiring environment every day. They approach their learning with energy and determination, support one another, and show a genuine kindness that stems from our core value of love. Seeing their smiles, celebrating their successes, and watching them grow into confident, capable young people is the greatest reward of my job. We truly believe that every child here is a gift, and we are dedicated to helping them uncover and fulfil their unique potential.

A Dedicated and Proactive Community

Our success is built upon the strong foundation of an entire, dedicated community. I am incredibly fortunate to work alongside a dedicated and passionate staff. They are committed to providing the highest quality education, creating engaging lessons, and offering the best pastoral care. They know each child as an individual, and through the lens of love and hope, they help every pupil to feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.

We are also supported by a group of proactive and insightful governors. They bring a wealth of expertise and experience to challenge and support the school, driven by a deep hope for every pupil's success. This strong partnership between staff, governors, and parents creates a cohesive team, focused entirely on your child's success.

Outcomes Rooted in Our Faith and Values

At SS Osmund & Andrew’s, we are committed to providing the best possible outcomes for our children. This extends far beyond the core academic subjects. Yes, we strive for excellence in Maths and English, ensuring every child masters the essential skills they need for their future education. However, we recognise that a truly successful child is one who is developed in the whole person.

Our curriculum is rich and broad, designed to spark curiosity and develop key life skills such as resilience, collaboration, and critical thinking. Crucially, Jesus Christ is at the centre of all that we do. Our core values of Love, Faith, and Hope are woven into the very fabric of our school life, guiding our behaviours, our relationships, and our approach to learning. We aim to nurture children who are not only academically successful but also morally strong, compassionate, and ready to make a positive contribution to the world, grounded in their Christian Faith.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child, and to working together to ensure their time at SS Osmund & Andrew’s is happy, fulfilling, and full of wonderful achievements. I can't wait to introduce you to our special school.
