Where Opportunity, Potential & Success Thrive
Welcome To Orchard Primary & Nursery School
Where Learning
Meets Doing.
When it comes to your child's learning, reputation matters.


At Orchard Primary and Nursery School, we believe that education goes beyond the classroom - it’s about experiences that inspire, engage, and shape the future. Our dedicated teachers, who proudly uphold the Orchard Building a Better Me values, create a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. From enchanting school musicals and a vibrant music department to hands-on learning in our garden, where children explore the wonders of the outdoors, we offer a rich array of extracurricular activities that bring learning to life.

Our Values
'Building a better me.'
At Orchard Primary School and Nursery, our values are the keys to unlocking Opportunity, Potential, and Success(OPS) for every child. These core principles guide our school community, shaping how we learn, grow, and support one another every day.
Each of our values is represented by a special Key Character, helping our pupils embrace and live by these important principles.
