Thank you for taking the time and interest in Oundle C of E Primary School. As the Headteacher, I am very proud of our school; the children, staff, learning environment and all that the school offers through its significant partnerships within the Oundle community, including St Peter’s Church and Oundle School, and as part of Peterborough Diocese Education Trust.

Our school seeks to enable all pupils, regardless of their starting points, to flourish as individuals and reach their full potential. By learning to keep on aspiring to be the ‘best they can be’, our children achieve well and strive for more. As the Head Teacher, I wish for all pupil to have a happy, memorable and inspiring primary education that sets the tone for life-long learning. We want them to be the change for the future.

Our school building is spacious, colourful and conducive to our learning of all subjects. Previously a middle school, we are equipped with subject discrete spaces for learning – a rarity in the primary sector. Whilst a large school-site, our zoning of year groups enables pupils to feel part of a small group within the whole school community. Staff recognise the benefits of the space and facilities that only enhance their teaching and learning for all pupils.

Our vision is:

‘To Be the Best You Can be’

‘Let your light shine before others; that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.’   Matthew 5:16

We anticipate all of our children ‘shining’ in their unique ways, yet building a mindset that they can achieve their aspirations. Our children learn that ‘shining their light to others’ means they are proud of themselves, their achievements and will role model their strengths and positive behaviours to others.

We offer to future staff members:

• fantastic career opportunities aided by CPD provided from both the Trust and Diocese;

• a warm, supportive and positive team of colleagues to work alongside for the benefit of all children;

• children that stand proud as learners and representatives of the school, supported by their parents;

• a special and memorable step in your career in whichever role you wish to fulfil.

We look forward to meeting you and aspire for you to ‘shine’ in our school.

Kind regards

Mrs Jo Griffin

Headteacher
