Vision and Values
Our school motto is: From little acorns mighty oaks do grow
At the heart of Oaklands Primary School are the values of respect for all, pride in ourselves and our school and the commitment to develop a love of learning. These values inspire everything that we do and ensure our children grow in to confident individuals with great aspirations for themselves, their futures and their communities. To do this we carefully nurture our pupils so that when they leave us they have excellent academic knowledge alongside the confidence, motivation and skills to apply themselves to any challenge.
