Welcome to Alexandra Park Junior School
Jenny Seabright – Principal
Welcome to Alexandra Park Junior School. We believe that our children can achieve, becoming successful future citizens that contribute positively to a society in which all members are equally valued. High aspirations, motivation and outcomes ensure that achievement gaps wherever they may exist are narrowed in order to improve children’s life chances and future prospects. Our number one priority is to ensure we always put our children at the heart of everything we do. We strive to make learning engaging, fun and purposeful, endeavouring to provide as many ‘real life’ learning experiences as possible through our trips and visits. Reading is the foundation of our curriculum and we positively promote reading for pleasure asking our families to support us with this at home. Alongside this our children receive the entitlement to all areas of the curriculum and through accessing a wide range of extra curricular clubs and activities such as quality play at lunchtimes. At Alexandra Park Junior School learning goes beyond the curriculum. Our school has a strong, warm family feel and a sense of belonging for everyone who joins our school community. Our children learn to develop positive values towards themselves, each other, and the wider community in which they play a huge part. We work together to create a school where children actively demonstrate positive behaviours where we treat each other with respect, understanding and empathy.
Our Vision is simple:
‘To Learn, Be Happy and Achieve Our Best’.
In partnership with our families we aim for our children to:
– Understand that mistakes don’t need to be avoided or feared – they help you to move forward.
– Feel safe and therefore happy because adults care in a positive way.
– Never, never, never give up!
We are exceptionally proud to be placed at the heart of Glodwick in Oldham and celebrate the importance of our families to the successes of our children. Having recently joined the Pinnacle Learning Trust we are contributing to and supported by a strong collaboration of networks between local Oldham schools – not just in the primary sector – that share a common purpose for our young children and people who live in Oldham. On behalf of a great team of staff we would like to welcome you to our school and Trust where the most crucial ingredient is effort; we ask for help and shape a sense of belonging – together!
