We asked our parents if they’d recommend Oswald Road to another parent/carer…

100% said YES

Here’s some reasons why….

“I love Oswald Road. An amazing school for my children, warm teachers, great communication, having staff on each gate is the best!”

“This is definitely a wonderful school that takes cares of our children both academically and in terms of their personal development. This is only explained by the amazing work done by teachers and all staff members.”

“Yes, definitely. The best primary school in the area.”

“Our child is in their first term of reception so we can only judge on a few weeks but overall I am so happy she has joined this school. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to her school experience. All the staff we have encountered (across all the provision) have been friendly and welcoming and clearly work hard and care about the kids. The comms (eg spider; newsletters) are all thorough and informative and help us feel connected with what is going on in the school. The school just has a nice vibe. We’re looking forward to becoming more integrated in the school community as she moves through the school years.”

“An amazing school that I would recommend to anyone. Supportive to all children and parents.”

“My son is really happy here, best decision made.”

“The sense of “community” which runs through Oswald Road is fantastic, especially for a large school – it never feels impersonal or like you are lost in a sea of other people”

We also asked, “Is your child happy at Oswald Road?”                  

 100% said YES

Here’s some reasons why….

“He is happy and fulfilled. He enjoys his classes. He learns so much at Oswald Road.”

“Because of healthy environment. His teacher is friendly and has strong bonding with all students.”

“My daughter absolutely enjoys this nursery she has come on a lot since starting she is excited to go”

“Lovely environment, lovely sense of being part of something.”

“He loves Oswald Road and is really proud to be a pupil here.”

“Only been in situ for 5 weeks but has settled very quickly”

“My children have felt very welcome since we arrived a few months ago. All the staff have been very supportive and helped them with the transition from another country and language. It has been amazing to see how they have settled in, made new friends and learnt English so quickly. This would not have been possible without the support of the staff. We are very grateful to all.”

“He is very happy at the school. He looks forward to school and the wide range of activities.”

“Both my children are very happy at Oswald Road Primary School, I’m so glad we moved them here.”

“Our child has just started Reception and comes home every day enthused about her school day.”

“Teacher really listened and responded to how my child has thrived in class in the past and implemented this school year.”

“She is so happy coming in to school each day. Not once been any bother.”

“Oswald Road is very supportive”

“Loves the school and his teachers”

“My son is always excited to head to school in the morning – which I think speaks volumes about the positive environment which is provided”

“He hardly ever doesn’t want to go to school and has a lot to tell about his day. Feel he is supported and stimulated”

“I think that Oswald’s social mindset is fantastic, and I love to see how my child is growing up to value and include everyone in society. I regularly tell friends from outside the area how happy we are about the school’s focus on personal development.”
