Lift North Ormesby is a cohesive, hard-working team of children, parents, staff and governors which Ofsted described as 'a haven'. We strive to meet individual needs, enabling children the opportunity to grow and flourish. Success is rewarded and celebrated at every opportunity and challenge is provided to all children to encourage them to achieve their potential.

Our Curriculum

All schools have a unique identity and at Lift North Ormesby we believe that we have created an outstanding friendly, caring and supportive environment that encourages our children to fully learn and develop into well-rounded pupils ready for the challenge of the 21st century.

Our children are very happy and feel safe in school. Our exceptionally talented staff team use all their expertise and experience to extend learning, creating challenges in a broad and balanced, experience-rich curriculum.

We try to abide by some fundamentals for our curriculum: Excellence, enjoyment and enrichment.

We want to develop children who are ready for the modern world – resilient problem solvers, able to communicate effectively and work as part of a team, managing themselves and others. These are the traits of ‘Tim’; our school ambassador, star pupil and the motivational target for all of our children.

Tim encourages pupils to have a positive attitude to develop resilience and determination in preparation for becoming a confident member of the local and wider community and achieve scholastic excellence.

Having a thematic approach helps teach all subject areas in a more cohesive way and helps with conceptual understanding for our children. Teachers can decide on any topic per phase. This means they can focus on current affairs, needs in the community, gaps in knowledge/experience or just those amazing things that children are interesting in!

Ofsted

We are judged to be an overall 'good' school with 'outstanding' personal development and we were last inspected in October 2024.
