Our Values

What's important to us and our pupils

At Orchard Primary School and Nursery, our values are the keys to unlocking Opportunity, Potential, and Success(OPS) for every child. These core principles guide our school community, shaping how we learn, grow, and support one another every day.

Each of our values is represented by a special Key Character, helping our pupils embrace and live by these important principles.

About Us

Independence – "I Can!"
We encourage our pupils to develop confidence in their abilities, take initiative, and embrace challenges with a positive mindset.

Creativity
We inspire our children to think imaginatively, explore new ideas, and express themselves in unique and innovative ways.

Respect
Kindness, understanding, and valuing differences are at the heart of our school. We foster an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and care.

Curiosity
We nurture a love for learning by encouraging our pupils to ask questions, investigate the world around them, and develop a lifelong passion for knowledge.

Resilience
Challenges help us grow! We teach our pupils to persevere, bounce back from setbacks, and keep striving towards their goals.

Teamwork
Collaboration and support make us stronger. Our pupils learn the power of working together, helping each other, and celebrating shared successes.

These values are embedded in everything we do at Orchard Primary School and Nursery, helping each child develop the skills and character needed to thrive in school and beyond.
