Empowering Young Minds through Imagination and Knowledge
Our Vision and Mission
At Oliver Tomkins CofE VA Infant, Nursery and Junior Schools, we believe that every child deserves a happy and caring environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential. Our vision is taken from the Bible: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 Our mission is to live this vision through three key values: aspiration, thriving, and wellness. We aim to facilitate high aspirations for all, ensure that every member of our community feels valued and respected, and strive for wellness for all.

Our curriculum is designed to be engaging, challenging, and relevant to our children's lives. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that covers all the key subjects, including English, maths, science, and the arts. We also offer a range of extracurricular activities and clubs to support our children's hobbies and interests.
