Our Vision & Values

Our vision for the pupils at Ore Village Primary Academy is reflected in our ORE acronym:   

Opportunities: Children deserve the absolute best learning experience possible. Through our innovative curriculum, we create opportunities which develop a thirst for learning and broaden the enquiring mind. We help our pupils master expertise across a number of skills, both academic and for life. 

Resilience: We provide the freedom for our pupils to be independent, creative and resilient. We teach our pupils to be accepting of others and to celebrate diversity. We encourage our pupils to learn from their mistakes and to be proud of their achievements.

Expanding Minds: Children relish a challenge and this is a perfect driver for encouraging our pupils to aim high and exceed our expectations. Very often, children are capable of far more than we can ever imagine. We give our pupils the confidence and self-belief that anything is possible!

Ore Village Primary Academy has a set of shared values that underpin the vision of the school. The values are unique to our school because they have been developed by the pupils, staff and parents.

OVPA is a caring school and we have defined our four key values using the acronym 'CARE'

COOPERATION: 'Sharing and learning together'. Cooperation is working together in a team, contributing and sharing in a helpful way.

ACHIEVEMENT: 'Persist and try your best'. Achievement is striving to attain your personal goals, persisting and giving your best effort.

RESPECT: 'Respect each other and our environment'. Respect involves taking responsibility for each other. Respect is speaking to and interacting with others in a courteous manner. It is about being honest, reliable and trustworthy.

EMPATHY: 'Treat others with care and compassion'. Empathy means trying to understand other people's views or feelings and being supportive and caring towards them.
