Orleans Primary School is a two form entry community school located in the St Margarets area of Twickenham. In September 2012 we opened as a Primary school, prior to this we were a three form entry infant school. Over the last year Orleans has undergone a substantial building programme to facilitate our expansion and we now have fantastic facilities which enable us to provide outstanding education for all our children.

Our school began life in 1911 as Orleans Council school and was officially opened on September 16th 1911. After sharing our site with Orleans Secondary school for over 60 years, the old school was demolished and some smaller building retained. As the school has grown, we have continuously developed the grounds and classrooms. In 2011 we commemorated our Centenary with a special week long celebration. During the week we planted a time capsule, with some help from the Deputy Mayor, for future generations to discover what life is like in 2011. 

At Orleans, we have a very strong vision which forms a fundamental part of how we move the school forward and we have nine values which underpin this vision. Our vision was written with input from all our school staff and our school council. Our school has a very dedicated team of staff who work exceptionally hard to ensure each child achieves their best, they are fully supported by the members of our Governing Body.

As a primary school, we believe that young children learn best when they are stimulated by an exciting and challenging curriculum which motivates them to learn. We actively encourage children to be inquisitive about the world around them and we celebrate every child’s success. Our aim is to create a lifelong love of learning in every child. Our school motto is ‘A love of learning, for life, for all.’ Our most recent OFSTED inspection took place in January and we were graded as outstanding. We were also graded as outstanding in our previous OFSTED inspection in May 2011.At Orleans we have high expectations of all our children both in terms of behaviour and learning.
