Headteachers Welcome 

Our PRIDE code (Polite, Respect, Independence, Do Your Best and Everybody Matters) underpins everything we do at Orton Wistow Primary School. It is these values that ensure our pupils become well-rounded citizens who will go on to make a positive contribution to society. Along with our Learning Tools (Responsibility, Resilience, Perseverance, Concentration and Teamwork) we instil in our pupils a love of learning that they will take with them into the future.

The safety, support, happiness and education of the children who attend our school are our priorities. We continue to build on our success each year, never standing still and always looking for what will make a positive difference for our pupils. Our curriculum reflects the needs of our learners and has been developed by the experienced and passionate staff that work here. We focus on the key knowledge, skills, understanding and vocabulary the children will need in each subject, building on the previous year’s learning as they move through the school.

The amazing community and dedication from all groups associated with the school - staff, governors, parents and the pupils - contribute to our aim of developing the whole child within and beyond the curriculum. We work together to motivate our learners, always encouraging their creativity and curiosity.

We pride ourselves on the rich, diverse and exciting experiences that we provide children and that as they move through the school, the children develop the skills that they need to be able to take on responsibilities and important roles in school. 

Kind Regards, 

Colin Marks
