At St Oswald’s C of E Primary School we provide the best possible primary education in a stimulating and creative environment.  The school develops a love of learning by high quality teaching, developing and building upon individual strengths and talents.

Mrs Mansfield is the SENDCo for the school. She works with staff in the school to ensure that they are provided with the best opportunities to learn. She works with families and with outside agencies.

We expect all children in our school to reach age-related levels in line with national expectations as a minimum and ensure barriers to learning are removed so every child reaches their full potential.
