Our school’s motto, “Striving for Excellence, Going for Gold,” encapsulates our daily commitment to fostering the best possible achievement among all pupils, regardless of their abilities.

Old Mill is a successful primary school and is proud to be a part of the Symphony Learning Trust. We work closely with other schools within the Trust, ensuring we continue to focus on being the best school we can be.

We are proud to achieve above average pupil outcomes, both in terms of academic achievement and the breadth of our curriculum. We emphasise holistic development, valuing both physical and mental well-being.

At Old Mill, our dedicated staff, alongside supportive parents and an effective governing board, work together to help your child not only enjoy their learning journey at Old Mill but to also reach their full potential.

Visitors always comment on our pupils’ exceptional appetite for learning, their commitment to striving for excellence and how our staff only want the best for pupils in our school. Our love of learning permeates through our entire site which is testament to the dedication, teamwork and professionalism of our staff.

At Old Mill Primary School, we endeavor to provide high quality learning for all our pupils, through being progressive, reflective and always striving to be better. 

Our vision for our pupils:

• To leave Old Mill as passionate and purposeful readers.
• To achieve the very best that they are capable of.
• To be able to think within the individual academic discipline of each subject, building the skills of a future generation of historians, mathematicians, scientists and writers.
• To leave us as independent, confident learners who believe in their own abilities, and are resilient in the face of challenge.
• To leave us as responsible, well-rounded, polite and respectful citizens who understand that through hard work, they can achieve their potential as individuals or as part of a team in the wider world.
