At Oswald Road Primary School we aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all our children thereby giving them a strong foundation for their future learning. We create a safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident and independent. We value the individual child and work alongside parents, carers and others to meet their needs and help every child to reach their full potential.

Swimming will take place each Thursday for all Year 4 classes. Children need swimming trunks (not swimming shorts) or a costume, a towel and a hat. All children must wear hats if their hair can cover their mouth or eyes. Children will not be able to wear goggles (the health and safety requirements of Manchester Swimming Team).
Please make sure your child’s name is on their lunchbox. All lunchboxes are kept in the classroom.
Coats and bags should be put in the cupboards provided in the classroom. Please name your child’s coat.

There is always a member of staff with a relevant Paediatric First Aid Qualification in each of the classrooms and an up-to-date first aid box is kept on the premises at all times. Minor accidents are recorded on a secure online system.
Please inform us if your child contracts an infectious illness/disease or if they have any other medical problems that we should be aware of as soon as possible. We are unable to accept children who are ill. Please do not send them for 48 hours after sickness and/or diarrhoea. Any child suffering from an infectious disease should be kept home from school for the appropriate period of time advised by the doctor.
The Reception staff will keep up-to-date records on children’s health (eg. allergies). If your child needs medication, you will need to complete the relevant consent forms and hand in medication via the school office- please speak to your child’s teacher.
