Old Heath Community Primary School

Our view of learning, achieving and being successful is very varied, whether it's a child learning to get dressed independently, a child overcoming the intricacies of algebra, a child who jumps into the deep end of a swimming pool for the first time, a child constructing a basic sentence and then developing it to engage a reader, a child who becomes skilled in climbing trees or whittling, a child who knows what it means to overcome a fear, a child who can empathise with another child and work through a problem together or a child who proudly recalling their first five 'sounds' in Early Years.

School governing bodies are responsible for working with the school to ensure that it delivers a good quality education. Together with the headteacher, who is responsible for day-to-day management, they set the school's aims and policies. To hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils, and the performance management of staff.

At Old Heath we work hard within the constraints of school budget to support children with SEND, these are not necessarily needs that require support through an Educational & Health Care Plan but children who may need a little extra support in developing speech & language, fine motor control, or time and support to complete physiotherapy exercises or work on their understanding of social skills.

The lead inspector was Ruth Brock. Teachers have high expectations about behaviour and pupils settle quickly to their work. Pupils are keen to show their knowledge and their thinking because you have engendered an ethos of support and care for them. It was evident throughout the school that this is indeed where 'children learn, achieve and enjoy success', as Old Heath's motto suggests.
