Welcome to Oatlands Junior School. We are a friendly, welcoming school and enjoy the strong relationships we have with parents, relatives, governors and the PTA, who regularly support learning in the classroom, extra-curricular clubs, trips and fundraising events.
Every child is important to us at Oatlands Junior School. We are committed to providing an inclusive, safe, positive and stimulating learning environment, where excellence thrives through high standards of learning, attitudes and behaviour. Our collective aim is to ensure that all children strive to achieve and exceed their goals, whilst nurturing a life-long love of learning. At Oatlands Juniors, children play an active role in the life of the school, through the many Pupil Voice groups. We are proud of our rich, broad and creative curriculum that encourages our children to be inquisitive, enterprising and independent learners.
Oatlands Junior School is surrounded by spacious, beautiful grounds with fantastic outdoor facilities and an Arts Studio. Our trim trail, is popular with all our children and our Running Track, especially the ‘Daily Mile’ challenge. Our sculpture garden, at the entrance to our school, displays works of art throughout the year in collaboration with local artists. We have been recognised for our high-quality curriculum provision through the many awards that we have achieved, including: Primary Science Quality Mark; Arts Mark Gold; Sports Games Gold; Healthy School Award Bronze.
Our dedicated colleagues, parents and governors all work together to make Oatlands Junior School a place where we are all ‘Caring About Today, Creating Successful Tomorrows’.
Oatlands Junior School is part of Red Kite Learning Trust, a multi academy of 14 schools across North and West Yorkshire. Our Trust mission is to ensure the best possible outcomes for those in our care by nurturing ambition, delivering excellence and enriching children’s lives. This is made possible by the talent and commitment of the people we employ.
We value every one of our colleagues, whether they are teachers or part of our support or operational teams. Each individual colleague plays an important role in helping us to achieve our goals, for our school and in our Trust.
Promoting an working environment and culture where colleagues can learn, contribute and thrive is fundamental to our success. We seek to recruit, develop and retain the best possible people, offering opportunities for collaborative learning and progression opportunities across our schools and organisations.
