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

Inspiring a love of learning

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.

Oldbury School is anything but ordinary, click here to find out why …

Have a try - out at Oldbury!

If you're interested in the possibility of your child attending Oldbury School, you are very welcome to come and try - out Oldbury School for the morning. On Fridays we offer parents and pre-school children the chance to 'stay and play / learn' by joining us for our Forest Friday sessions with Class 1 children. Please contact Debbie at the School office (01454 414297) if you are interested.

Paintpotts commemorative handprint tile wall WINNER

Paintpotts commemorative handprint tile wall WINNERI have pleasure to inform you that your school has won a competition we ran over the Summer Holidays inviting parents, teachers and friends of schools throughout Bristol and South Gloucestershire to nominate their chosen school to win a FREE commemorative handprint tile wall. The idea being that every child in the school has their handprint and name on a fired tile, presented together on display, perhaps in a school hall or similar space, headlined "Happy hands as we learn and grow". Each year we will visit to capture handprints from the new foundation year (we will also honour any children who join the school mid-year), all with no charge.
