"Every child is a learner and can achieve"
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you, on behalf of the children, staff and governors, to Oakwood Junior School. We aim to provide a warm, welcoming and supportive environment in which our pupils develop a lifelong love of learning. Our dedicated team aims to help every child to face their individual challenges with courage and determination and to discover their own unique talents and strengths. We are totally committed to removing barriers to learning and developing in each child a 'take care' attitude to work and a social 'take care' conscience, as well as a shared pride in achievement in all its forms.
