WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL WEBSITE

Oughton Primary and Nursery School is a community school, taking pupils from 3 - 11 years old. The school is situated in the Westmill area of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, and was formed in 2001, when the former Oughtonhead Junior, Infants and Nursery Schools were amalgamated.

OUGHTON LIFE: Learning, Inclusion, Friendship, Enjoyment ………. for everyone.
Everyone – children, staff and families.

"Pupils at Oughton are proud of their school. Many pupils have developed a strong sense
of self awareness. They show this in their positive behaviour. Pupils and adults build warm
and respectful relationships. This means that pupils feel safe and well cared for."

recent events/activities at Oughton Primary and Nursery School:

Coronation of King Charles III

The school celebrated the coronation of King Charles III by coming together for a coronation picnic and also having a non-uniform day wearing red, white and blue. Everyone looked very patriotic!
Years 1-6 enjoyed their picnic together in our wonderfully decorated gym. Reception and Nursery ate together in a beautifully decorated classroom. Bunting galore! The children all made wonderful crowns to wear. The choir then performed a song called "Coronation Day".

Breaking News ......

The school had a delivery of some special eggs after the Easter holidays and we were all very egg-cited when they started hatching! The children all had time to meet the chicks and watch them grow during their stay with us. We were very sad to see them go back to the farm.

year 3 parent workshop

It was lovely to see so many of our families join us for the Year Three workshop and to receive such positive feedback from the adults and children alike. We look forward to our next workshop with our Year Four families.

World Book DAY 2023

This year for World Book Day, we asked the children to bring in their favourite book, and an object connected to it. We were very impressed with all the wonderful creative efforts! Children across the school had a chance to share their books and objects in assembly.

HMS Oughton

We have wonderful new play equipment in the KS1 playground, including a pirate ship! Years 1 and 2 had great fun trying out the new equipment after the grand opening on Monday 6th June, with Mrs Clayton cutting the ribbon. The whole school have had a chance to play on it, much to the enjoyment of all the children.
