Oak Wood Primary School is a caring, kind and friendly school. Pupils’ needs are at the heart of everything that happens. Pupils receive quality care from all staff, who treat them with dignity and respect. The relationships between staff and pupils are highly positive and pupils communicate that they are happy in school. Giving pupils a voice is a high priority. The school teaches pupils across the school to use a range of communication systems. Staff use this range in all areas of school life. This helps pupils to share their feelings, make choices and learn the curriculum. The school has high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They respond positively to staff and engage well in their learning. When pupils find things difficult, staff provide effective support to help pupils manage their emotions and to re-engage pupils with their learning. Using a totalcommunication approach, children and pupils are learning to read and enjoy reading. Through a range of practical activities, pupils are also learning about numbers and how mathematics is part of everyday life. Pupils enjoy a range of activities, including swimming and forest school. Pupils are proud of their charity work.
