‘Through our roots we flourish’
Friendship, Generosity, Perseverance
Oakridge Parochial School is a truly nurturing environment where every child is valued, encouraged, and supported to flourish. We make the most of the opportunities provided by our inspiring location, offering our pupils rich and meaningful experiences that connect learning to the world around them. Our children are generous, kind-hearted individuals who understand the true value of friendship. They embrace challenges with determination and perseverance, developing the essential skills, independence, and resilience they need to thrive in the modern world.
Schools are often promoted as special and unique places, but with Oakridge Parochial School this is genuinely the case. Warm, friendly, and welcoming, our small school is a happy, inclusive, and vibrant community where every child is known and cared for. We provide exciting, high-quality learning opportunities for all, ensuring that each child’s talents, interests, and individuality are celebrated and nurtured.
Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds and Stroud district, within a thriving village community, our school is rooted in the beauty of its location, heritage, and traditions. These strong foundations allow us to cultivate forward thinking, innovation, and independence while striving for excellence in all that we do. Our staff work together to inspire curiosity and creativity, supporting children to become confident, self-assured thinkers with enquiring minds and a strong sense of belonging.
As a Church of England school, we are dedicated to being inclusive and welcoming to all, encouraging spiritual growth and moral understanding of a wide range of faiths, cultures, and societies, as well as our own Christian values. We also foster a deep appreciation for community and social responsibility, helping children to grow as thoughtful, compassionate individuals who are ready to make a positive difference in the world.
Working collaboratively as part of a wider Federation with four other schools, we benefit from shared resources, expertise, and best practice. This partnership not only strengthens our provision but also offers children and staff opportunities to build relationships and learn from one another through joint events, activities, and initiatives.
We always love to welcome new families to Oakridge Parochial School. If you would like to experience our special school for yourself, we warmly invite you to get in touch by telephone or email to arrange a visit.
