Oliver's Battery Primary and Nursery School is a happy, thriving community where everybody is welcome and everybody belongs.
Our children are confident learners who are engaged and motivated to achieve through challenging, supportive and creative teaching.
Welcome to our lovely school. Whether you are just browsing or are looking to join our school, I hope you will find all you are looking for on our website. If you are new to the community, we will do our very best to ensure you feel welcome and know that we will endeavour to work closely with you over the forthcoming years.
Our children are proud of their school and all the things that make it so special. We are very fortunate to have superb outdoor spaces, enriching classrooms, strong links with partnership schools, a fun, engaging and broad curriculum, our own forest schools and some of the best teachers and support staff!
As a team, we are committed to developing a coherent, flexible and enriched curriculum which raises aspirations, drives ambition and secures high standards in all areas. Opportunities that are provided for our children are relevant to their needs both now and in the future. Our children, who are at the heart of every decision we make, are happy, resilient and confident learners.
Why not book a 1:1 tour with me and come and see our school for yourselves?

πβ¨ **Firework Fun β Stay Safe, Be Kind & Think of Everyone!** β¨π Firework season is here! π Whilst the colourful displays can be magical and exciting, we want to remind our school community to stay safe and be mindful of those around us. π π₯ **Our Top Firework Safety Tips:** π Always watch fireworks from a safe distance and let adults handle them. β¨ Sparklers should only be used with close adult supervision. Wear gloves, hold them at armβs length and place used sparklers in a bucket of water. πΎ Remember our furry friends! Keep pets safely indoors and provide a calm, comfortable space. π **Not Everyone Enjoys Fireworks β and Thatβs OK!** π For some children, particularly those with **Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)**, fireworks can be overwhelming or distressing. π Loud, unexpected bangs can cause sensory overload or anxiety. π Bright flashing lights and large crowds can be difficult to manage. π Ear defenders, a quiet space, familiar routines and plenty of reassurance can make a big difference. π **Every Child Experiences Fireworks Differently** Some children love the colours and excitement, whilst others prefer to watch from a window, enjoy a quieter display or avoid fireworks altogether. All of these choices are absolutely OK! β€οΈ π‘ **Letβs Be Considerate Neighbours** If youβre planning fireworks at home, please let your neighbours know in advance where possible, choose lower-noise fireworks and stick to reasonable times. At Oliverβs Battery Primary & Nursery School, we believe in being **United in Community** β and that means looking out for everyone, respecting differences and helping every child feel safe and included. π π Have a wonderful, safe and considerate firework season! #FireworkSafety #SENDAwareness #SensoryFriendly #InclusiveCommunity #OliversBatteryPrimary UnitedInCommunity StaySafe
