“There is a lively atmosphere in the school canteen where excellent food is prepared by friendly staff. ”
“Children attending OLI certainly get a good deal.”
“The IQM targets set and achieved at OLI serve to complement and enhance the inclusive ethos of the school.”
“They work well together and ‘enjoy a laugh.’ This is something that I personally value greatly. A happy staff means happy pupils.”
“I was particularly struck by how older children engage with each other in lessons. As 1 pupil speaks, the class would turn to show interest and display active listening.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to spend a day with staff and children, and I feel inspired and enthused to trial ideas in my own school.”
“Comments from stakeholders’ centre around the school being ‘warm,’ ‘amazing,’ and ‘like home.’ I would fully agree with these quotes. All staff, including cooks, the site manager, learning support, and Governors, clearly articulate the same ethos and enjoy being there. External support staff expressed how this is ‘comfortably the best school they work in.”
“Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School is an exceptionally inclusive school.”
“It was lovely to see the early years children practising self-regulation through peer massage as part of the MISP programme. (Massage in Schools Programme). Clearly, this is embedded as a regular feature, and very young children were showing care and empathy towards their peers.”
“Observation of ZOR in Early Years area showed staff well-deployed to support children unable to fully mix with mainstream, but still receiving entitlement.”
“There is a lot of evidence that staff at OLI are very well trained,”
“Diversity in the curriculum is apparent”
Thank you everyone!
The children took part in NSPCC’s Maths Day. They have been working on number recognition, number order using puzzles and subitising to 3.
We have loved learning about Chinese New Year. The children really enjoyed role-playing in the Chinese restaurant, making paper chain decorations, creating lucky red envelopes and tasting noodles!
This half term in Nursery we have really enjoyed sensory play in the moon sand and practising our fine motor skills by painting and drawing. We also really enjoyed dressing up time and taking on the roles of ‘People Who Help Us’.
Our children loved celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Our early years children sang their hearts out at their nativity today.
Thank you to all our families for your generosity.
Today we collected money for Children in Need, Pudsey Bear came to school to collect all the money we raised.
