Our School

 

‘Growing in faith, hope and love. But of these three the greatest is love’.

1 Corinthians 13:13

Our school will continue to be a happy, welcoming and inclusive Christian environment, where everyone is treated equally and expectations are high.

We will provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment in which every individual is cared for spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally, guided by the values of our Christian faith.

We will combine high standards with a broad, balanced and rich curriculum which encourages creativity and inspires a commitment to lifelong learning.

We will focus our teaching and learning on the needs, abilities and enthusiasms of individuals, providing a tailored approach to supporting all pupils according to their needs.

We will work in partnership with parents, parish and stakeholders to place our school at the heart of the community it serves.

We will build on our strengths and drive our own improvement, set ambitious and challenging targets, whilst facilitating opportunities for everyone to be the best that they can be.

It is a wonderful privilege to be the head teacher of St Andrew’s Over Hulton Church of England Primary School – a church, family school where our Christian values sit at the heart of everything we do. Visitors often comment on the welcoming, Christian atmosphere and ethos that permeates our school. Our loyal staff team work hard and offer each child the opportunity to achieve their very best and experience a whole range of activities both in and outside the classroom.

We have a dedicated and involved Governing Body who work hard and effectively within school. We strive constantly to improve and develop every aspect of the school. We are committed to ensuring the children are always safe and given the very best opportunities in order to achieve their greatest potential.

Through our creative and engaging curriculum, children demonstrate their motivation, curiosity and independence to learn more and this helps foster their high aspirations, enthusiasm and keenness to take an active role in school life. Individual talents are identified and encouraged to ensure that every child experience success

We have a committed group of parents who actively support events, fundraise and we are always looking for new recruits to join them!

The wonderful grounds and outdoor spaces allow learning opportunities to go beyond the perimeter of the classroom walls. We take learning outside at every given opportunity.

A range of wider curriculum experiences are offered both during the school day, before and after school that encompass a love for the outdoors, for sport and also for the creative arts. 

Links with St Andrew’s church family are important to us, Reverend Vinny visits us each week to lead worship and in addition will meet the Ethos Council twice a month. Visits to the church are encouraged throughout the year. Children come together each day for worship and song, with Friday’s assembly a celebration of individual’s achievements.

We recognise the strength in developing a valued partnership between home and school, and the wider community, so that together we can provide a rich and stimulating education.

I trust that you will find out all about our wonderful school on the website and on our school Facebook page, but please don’t hesitate to contact school for any further advice or information.  

 

‘You are a child of God, You are wonderfully made,

Dearly loved and precious in His sight.

Before God made you… He knew you

There is no one else like you!’    

Psalm 139
