About Us:
Every Child, Every Day, Every Future

The school's ethos and values are encapsulated in the key phrase that accompanies our logo: Every Child, Every Day, Every Future.

The strapline encapsulates three features of the school that informs the way we work with the children and school family.

Outwoods Edge serves a diverse community and we recognise that children come to school with different needs, experiences and expectations.

We believe that every day in school is important to ensure that all children develop a love of learning and a belief in themselves that they can succeed.
