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 …

We wish Mrs Ovens a warm welcome back to our school and we wish Mr Keith-Smith all the very best of luck in his future teaching career and offer him huge thanks for all the hard work he has undertaken at our school.
