A welcome from the headteacher
It is my absolute privilege to be the headteacher of Oakwood Avenue Primary School, a community I have been proud to be a part of since 2006. Having started here as deputy head, I feel deeply connected to the school’s journey and its incredible spirit. Since taking on the role of headteacher, my vision has been to build on the firm foundation of excellence already established. Oakwood Avenue is a special place to work and be!
We believe in nurturing every child to achieve their very best, both academically and personally. Our Oaky Family values remain at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to thrive. While we are proud to be a larger-than-average primary school, our strong sense of community and belonging ensures a warm and inclusive environment for all.
Our shared vision for Oakwood Avenue is one where every child is not only prepared for the next stage of their education but is also equipped with the confidence, resilience, and empathy to succeed in life. We aim to develop curious, kind, and ambitious learners who embrace challenges and celebrate their successes. We know that the strength of our school lies in the partnership between staff, parents, carers, and our wider community. Together, we create the best opportunities for our children. Initiatives like our What’s ‘appening Breakfast meetings, ensure your views are heard, and we encourage open communication to strengthen the bond between home and school.
As headteacher, I am committed to driving our school forward, not only in academic excellence but also as a place where joy, creativity, and values shine through every day. Our dedicated team of teachers, teaching assistants, office staff, and support staff work tirelessly to provide the very best for every child, ensuring that Oakwood Avenue is a place where children flourish.
Our website is a window into life at Oakwood Avenue and will keep you informed of all the wonderful things happening in our school community. However, if you have any questions or would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Thank you for choosing Oakwood Avenue Primary School. I look forward to working with you and your family as we continue to grow and achieve great things together.
Joanne Reilly, Headteacher
Historic videos of our school
A few years ago, our Year 6 leavers wrote and produced this promotional video as their legacy to their time at Oakwood Avenue. Our video below gives a taste of what life is like at our school for new starters! It gives a flavour of us but nothing compares to a face to face visit, so we always warmly welcome parents and carers to come along to our open evening events. Class teachers and staff have changed but our vision and values remain the same. Please ring the school office to arrange a visit on the dates listed above!
Our nurseries
We also have a 2 year old nursery as well as a 3 year old nursery to get your child's learning journey off to a great start! Call our school office for enquiries of places on 01925 635565. You can also look on our dedicated nursery pages along the 'Year Groups' tab at the top of the home page.
