Headteacher's Welcome

OPEN DAY - SATURDAY 13th OCTOBER 2012 (10AM-1PM)

 

PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) schools exist in order to help parents in their most precious task of educating and forming their children. Oliver House, as a PACT School, works in partnership with parents, with the shared aim of ensuring that each child advances in their love for God, and grows to become the very best person that they can.

At Oliver House our aim is to make all our aspirations: the parents’, the children’s and the teachers’ become a reality; we know that together we can achieve this. Our character development programme assists you as a parent to have a decisive influence on your child’s development. We invite children to consider what kind of person they really want to be.

Our tutorial system allows them to discuss and reflect upon the areas they most need to improve, enabling them to grow in self awareness and in human virtues, particularly responsibility, good judgment, personal toughness and self control, thus fulfilling our aim of educating the whole person; intellect, body and spirit.

At Oliver House we appreciate that education goes far beyond academic excellence, and that the school years are crucial for the development of the talents and virtues which are essential to enable our children to achieve their full potential and have both a personal, meaningful relationship with God. This empowers them to become excellent professionals and mature, responsible citizens who appreciate that work well done is a service and a principal means of personal and social improvement.

As Headteacher of Oliver House, I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our school. We are determined to work with you to foster academic excellence, your child’s gifts and talents and the virtues that will allow your child to achieve a deeper relationship with God and with the world. Together we can enable your children to reach their full potential and to make a real, positive contribution to society throughout the whole of their lives.
