Headteacher Welcome

As the newly appointed Headteacher of Aureus Primary School, I am proud to lead our vibrant and fully-grown school, now thriving at full capacity at the heart of Great Western Park in Didcot. I am honoured to lead its next chapter, and I look forward to supporting and celebrating the successes of our children as they fulfil their potential.

At Aureus Primary, we are committed to nurturing every child to dream, believe and achieve, and as such, our bespoke STEAM curriculum - rooted in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics - has been specifically written and deliberately designed for children living in Oxfordshire. It has been carefully designed to inspire curiosity and ambition, particularly within the rich and innovative local landscape. We follow The National Curriculum and deliver it through our STEAM curriculum, as a vehicle to encourage children to aspire to work in the high technology industries and to develop a love of learning.

Our school values are respect, appreciation, compassion, determination, grit, resilience, excellence, creativity, curiosity, responsibility, leadership and teamwork, and these underpin all that we do. These principles are lived and modelled daily by both staff and pupils, shaping a positive, inclusive culture where children feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.

We believe in the power of community. As we continue to grow, I am deeply committed to strengthening our connections with families and local partners. We have exciting projects in development that will further enhance our offer and enrich the experiences of our pupils. More information will be shared with families in due course.

Thank you for visiting our website. I encourage you to return regularly to keep up with our latest news and developments, and see for yourself the energy, creativity, and care that defines our school community.

Warm wishes,

Danielle Clelland
