Old Mill Primary School

Old Mill is a primary school for boys and girls from the ages of four to eleven, and we have around 400 pupils on roll. It is an attractive and friendly school, with large open-plan working areas, set in well-developed school grounds. Opened in 1981, the school shares it’s site with Thomas Estley Community College, and pupils generally transfer to Thomas Estley at the end of Year 6.

Our aim at Old Mill is simple: to give our pupils the best possible start in life, in a happy, caring and safe environment. We do this by 'Going for Gold' on a daily basis (taking inspiration from our British London 2012 Olympians and Paralympians), and through our 6 'Core Values': 'Excellence', 'Teamwork', 'Professionalism', 'Resilience', 'Respect', and by being 'Child-Centered'.
We are extremely proud of our achievements both in terms of the high standards of attainment and in relation to the variety of learning (both indoor and outdoor) that we provide. We believe in educating the whole child, not just the academic side and each year pupils have the opportunity to participate in a year group production or musical concert linked to their learning.
