About us

Welcome to Olive Heights. We believe that our curriculum inspires and motivates our young people to achieve their full potential through practical and play-based learning. It is our job as educators to encourage children to become resilient, confident and well-rounded individuals who know the difference between right and wrong. A positive learning culture is evident throughout Olive Heights School: we encourage our pupils to develop enquiring minds and a positive attitude to all aspects of the curriculum. Alongside this, we provide a caring and supportive environment, where every child is given the opportunity to be the very best they can be.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a rich and extensive range of subjects and activities for children to develop a variety of skills, interests and talents. All staff members are checked by the relevant authorities to ensure their suitability and have been trained in paediatric first aid. We actively encourage partnership with parents and professionals to provide a holistic approach which enables pupils to be confident, competent and independent. You are invited to come and take a tour of the school.

From the Head. Our vision for Olive Heights School is determined by the belief in every child's entitlement to quality education in a caring environment. All children are special and should be made to feel so; they should be valued, supported and nurtured. As citizens of the future, they must be made aware of the vital contribution they can make to society. We want our children to reach their potential and become well-rounded and well-adjusted adults. The quality of your child's education and learning is paramount to us, and I firmly believe that a trusting partnership between home and school lies at the heart of a successful educational experience. Chukwurah Ifeanyi, Head, Educational Resource.
