Welcome
Hello and welcome to Okehampton Primary School.
Here, we believe that education should open children’s eyes and hearts to the very best that has been thought and said—while also nurturing their individual passions, confidence and personal development. We want every child to receive a well-rounded education, to feel safe and happy at school, and to believe that anything is possible.
We celebrate diversity and actively promote equity and inclusion across our curriculum, teaching, and school culture. We believe that every learner—regardless of background, identity, or ability—deserves access to high-quality education and the opportunity to thrive. Together, we foster a community where differences are embraced and everyone belongs.
At the heart of everything we do at OPS are our relationships. Whether it’s the bond between teacher and pupil, the collaboration between staff, or the partnership between school and home, we pride ourselves on positive relationships that build trust, foster belonging and create the conditions where children can flourish both academically and personally. We are committed to nurturing a school culture where every child feels known, valued and supported.
Alongside this, we have high expectations for every member of our school community. We believe that all children can achieve great things when they are challenged, inspired and supported in the right way. These high expectations extend beyond academic success—they include behaviour, attitude, effort and kindness. We want our pupils to aim high, work hard, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.
We hope you enjoy many happy years with us and make lasting memories at OPS.
