Welcome from the Principal

I am delighted to welcome you to our website and hope you enjoy finding out more about Orchard Meadow. 

We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive school with high ambitions and expectations for every child. Our values sit at the heart of everything we do and are reflected in both our curriculum and wider school life. 

We are working hard to build a strong community where everyone takes pride in our school, embraces our values and is encouraged to be ambitious for the future. 

We believe in giving children the very best start and have invested in a strong reading, writing and mathematics curriculum. We also know that healthy bodies support healthy minds, so we provide a wide range of sporting opportunities for our pupils. We were particularly proud to be awarded the School Games Gold Award last year in recognition of our commitment to children's physical activity and sport. 

We know that creative children learn to think independently, solve problems and develop confidence. For this reason, we work hard to provide a rich range of creative opportunities, including learning Spanish and the recorder with specialist teachers. 

We are equally proud of our extensive enrichment offer and the opportunities it brings for our children. We greatly value our partnerships with Radley College, The University of Oxford, The Dragon School, Oxfordshire Music Service and BBOWT, all of which help to broaden children's experiences and aspirations.
