I would like to extend an extremely warm welcome to Orchid Vale Primary School. I feel privileged to be part of a community that is committed to providing the very best learning opportunities for the children in our care. We have a responsibility to prepare our children for their future and open many doors for them. Central to everything that we do is the aim that children leave Orchid Vale as effective and confident communicators with a breadth of knowledge and range of skills that enable them to be successful at whatever they choose to do in the future.

Ruth Lee - Head Teacher

As part of the Orchid Vale team, you will be part of a school where the children are at the centre of all that we do. The committed, supportive staff team work closely together to create a happy, productive environment where aspirations for all children are high.

As a part of the team, you will have support from the staff team at Orchid Vale but will also become part of The Park Academies Trust, a small but supportive network of local schools who are working together to provide the best possible education journey for the children of Swindon.

The Park Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All job offers are subject to satisfactory references, DBS and other professional checks.

'Enjoying learning together! Achieving success together!'
 
Welcome to Orchid Vale Primary School. We are proud to be a community that:

• Improves the life chances of all pupils;
• Nurtures the talents of every single child and helps them to reach their full potential;

Orchid Vale Primary School is an expanding school, but still has that community ethos, where everyone knows each other and enjoys working together.

We are a values-based school. Values are things we believe in that help us to make decisions about how to behave. They are the principles that guide our lives. Each term we have a focus value. We think really carefully about recognising and showing our value of the month. Our values are:

• Respect
• Friendship
• Responsibility
• Kindness
• Courage 
• Resilience

We are also a part of The Park academies Trust, please check out the Trust page for further information.
