Welcome to Oldbury-on-Severn
Church of England VC Primary School

'Love one another as I have loved you’ (John 15:12)

At Oldbury School, we understand that happy, engaged children learn better. For us, Inspiring a love of learning isn’t just a strapline, it is the foundation of our approach to education.

The unique attributes that come from being a small rural school, from the extensive grounds to the caring environment, underpin a creative approach to education that releases the potential of our children.
