What is it like to attend this school...

Children at our school are provided with a wealth of opportunities. Our broad, balanced and inclusive curriculum is grounded in our local area with our school at the heart of the local community. Our children and staff enjoy their role in the community delivering Harvest packages to elderly residents, creating displays for local churches and hosting community events. Our PTFA take a proactive role in supporting these events and bring a real richness to our interactions with the community.

Staff are committed to providing a wealth of opportunities to all pupils, ensuring that no child’s experience is limited by the small size of the school, our low staff numbers or their individual needs. We are currently developing our bespoke ‘garden school’ curriculum which makes use of our superb outdoor facilities including raised beds and a pond. As well as using our environment to support learning in traditionally classroom based subjects, our children learn how to grow vegetables, whittle branches and cook on an open fire.

Our children enjoy sport and thrive on the broad range of opportunities we provide both in PE lessons, through after-school clubs and inter-school competition. Despite our low numbers, our children experience success in team sports and have strong local links which provide our children with regular opportunities for competition. We are developing our PE provision to incorporate exciting aspects such as mountain biking and archery, in addition to the usual areas of swimming, gymnastics and dance!

We are proud to have joined the Yorkshire Endeavour Academy Trust and opportunities to work collaboratively with pupils from other schools within the Trust are actively planned into the school year. We ensure that pupils from our small village school have opportunities to develop confidence and build relationships with their peers beyond Hinderwell, in preparation for their eventual transition to secondary school. 

Staff have high expectations of all pupils and are keen to develop their resilience, independence and communication skills. Staff, pupils, parents and governors have worked together to create a set of pledges, which aim to enhance pupils’ broader development during their time at Oakridge in order to ensure that all pupils are effectively prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.
