Headteacher Welcome

On behalf of the children, staff, and governors, I am delighted to welcome you to Olney Infant Academy. It is an absolute privilege to serve as the Headteacher of such a vibrant and nurturing school community.

At Olney Infant Academy, we pride ourselves on fostering a warm, caring environment where every child is challenged to reach their full potential. Our commitment to creating a culture of excellence is deeply embedded across the school, and we are passionate about delivering an exciting and creative curriculum rooted in outstanding Early Years principles. By capturing children’s interests and talents, we help them grow into independent, confident, and successful learners. The joy on our children’s faces and the consistently high standards they achieve are a true reflection of our school’s dedication.

We believe that strong partnerships with parents are essential to every child’s success, and we value the close relationships we build with our families.

Our excellent facilities, including a vibrant library, a large covered outdoor classroom for our Foundation children, and an incredible outdoor learning environment featuring a wildlife area, pond, and expansive fields and playground, provide a rich setting for learning and exploration. Children also take part in growing fruit and vegetables, which are used in our school kitchen for our nutritious hot meals.

We are proud to offer wraparound care, starting at 7:45am with our Breakfast Club and running until 6:00pm with our after-school club. Additionally, our extensive extracurricular program includes football and tennis coaching, Strings, dance, Bug Buddies, Lego club, yoga, dance, gymnastics, and more.

As one of the first primary schools to convert to Academy status in June 2011, we joined the Inspiring Futures Through Learning Multi Academy Trust (IFtL) in January 2017, alongside Olney Middle School and several other outstanding schools.

The best way to experience what makes Olney Infant Academy special is to visit us during the school day. If you would like to arrange a visit or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always proud to show visitors around our wonderful school.
