Key Stage 2 Teacher

Oldfield Park Junior School, sometimes referred to as OPJS, is a community school for children from the ages of 7 to 11 years old (Key Stage 2). The schools is proud to be part of the Palladian Academy Trust (PAT) alongside 9 other schools.

We learn together through our ‘Engaging Curriculum’ with exciting ‘Spectacular Starts’ and ‘Fantastic Finishes’. We take care of each other, are responsible for ourselves and each other and support each other in everything we do.

As the timeline beside illustrates, OPJS has diligently and proudly served the local community since 1893, starting as South Twerton School and, in more recent and modern times, as Oldfield Park Junior School. Our distinctive and iconic buildings are listed with the English Heritage as a Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.

Many generations of families have attended our school through the years creating a warm and lasting atmosphere and sense of belonging to a vibrant, caring and welcoming family and community. Everyone in the OPJS family is committed to our mission statement of ‘Inspiring Excellence, Achieving Together’.

At Oldfield Park Junior School we work together as a supportive community to provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment where children are valued as individuals, engaged in their learning and inspired to achieve excellence. The following not only highlights what we believe to be the characteristics of our vision and ethos, but what we want our learners to be and become.

Our school values reflect our commitment to our trust as well as the whole Oldfield Park community. Indeed, although two separate schools, our values are the same as Oldfield Park Junior School which illustrates the strength of the link between OPIS, OPJS and Oldfield Park community.

Palladian Academy Trust is a strong Trust based in Bath and Wiltshire that offers education from 4-19. We are proud that our schools serve different communities, some are church schools, some are non-denominational, but together we know we are better placed to ensure our pupils have the best educational experience.

The Trust was established in 2016 and is named after a local landmark, The Palladian Bridge in Prior Park, a symbol of connection and unity.

As a Trust, we know that each of our schools has its own distinctiveness and each one brings different strengths as an equal partner. While we recognise what each school has to offer individually, we also work together at the same time, to maximise the benefits of being part of a larger network and organisation. Being part of a Trust gives our colleagues access to high quality professional development opportunities, gives our pupils the chance to interact with others from different schools and provides challenge and support to Trust and school leaders through effective governance.
