Pupils follow a wide and balanced curriculum based on experimental learning across all subjects with successful outcomes for the Year 6 SATS putting it at the top of the KS2 value added table. Children learn the value of friendship, good manners, hard work and how to make a difference in the world following the school’s vision of a best academic start combined with grounding to become successful members of society.

Ormsgill Primary School

Ormsgill Primary School and Nursery is a happy, vibrant learning community where every child is given every opportunity to reach their full potential. Excellent academic achievement, a rich and varied programme of extra-curriculum activities, a curriculum full of creativity and interest for every child and outstanding facilities all contribute to the enormous success of the school. Rated Good by Ofsted, inspectors praised the school as highly inclusive, at the heart of its community and said its personal support for pupils with special educational needs is outstanding.

It has three key behaviours that define its culture – be calm, be kind and do your best – and these are embodied across all areas of the school community.
