Welcome to The Orion - a Message from Mr Flathers

The Orion Primary is part of the Gold Star Federation. Together with Goldbeaters we serve a community of around 1500 children. We believe that life for our pupils should be sunny, happy and incredibly special.

Our way of learning is unique and has a name: Positive Learning Power. This simple method enables children to be able to say:

• I am happy and a success
• I feel very positive and confident about myself and with friends
• I love learning and make fast progress

Staff really make things happen and they are dedicated to helping children in three ways, they:

• Champion pupils by going the extra mile for them
• Teach great lessons
• Coach and nurture every child’s talents.

Life here is NOT just a series of lessons. Our very special environment and weekly events play a key part in giving children endless learning opportunities. Pupils develop a passion for life and a level of happiness that accelerates their learning. Here is a quick flavour of life in our world:

• GO FEST an arts and cultural 6 week festival
• Word Up an 8 week literacy festival.
• Theatre school
• Sports academy
• Days like, Smile Day, World Peace Day

If you would like a taste of our schools then you can see us on YouTube where we have around a 100 films, many of which were made to help keep everyone positive during the Covid period. 

We also run a charity to help the community when the need arises. This is called the "Bright Yellow Thinkers Project".

Our children are amazing!  My staff and I are proud to serve them and their families by providing a very special primary school experience.

We are here them and for you!

Mr F
