Capturing the imagination of young minds

Welcome to Poppleton Ousebank Primary School

Our school is situated to the west of York and serves the large village of Poppleton and surrounding areas.

We pride ourselves on our warm, friendly atmosphere and begin caring for your child and family as soon as you arrive. We believe that each step of your child’s education is as important as the one before. With this in mind, we continue to provide inspiring and memorable learning experiences throughout their learning journey – supporting them and challenging them as they go. Our curriculum is creative, inclusive and exciting. It provides children with a broad range of learning experiences which seek to nurture talents and acquire new knowledge and skills in a purposeful and engaging way. We aim to develop confident, articulate, and inquisitive learners and endeavour to work in partnership with parents to achieve this.

We have a team of staff that not only support your child in their learning, but also in their personal development and emotional wellbeing. Although we have high aspirations for all pupils, we recognise that children may have different needs or may require an ‘alternative route’ or support during their time with us.  This is reflected in the varied professionals and opportunities available, the learning environments and relationships formed with both pupils and families.

Our website provides a small peek into our amazing school, providing information about our curriculum and provision. We would love you to visit POPS to experience it for yourselves and so encourage you to contact us to arrange a visit.

Thank you for visiting!

  • “I would highly recommend this school to any prospective parents. It is warm, friendly and a wonderful place for children to develop and grow – we love the school!”

    Parent of a Reception child

  • “The school feels comfortable and safe even for the smallest children. There are always fun events; school discos, fairs and non-uniform days as well as a number of extra-curricular clubs where my daughter enjoys learning French and improving her gymnastic skills.”

    Parent of a child in Reception

  • “An amazing village school with first class teachers. The whole `community and family feel’ in this school is fantastic. My children are so happy here.”

    Parent of children in Nursery and Year 2

  • “In Nursery, our girls were allowed to explore the new environment through play. They were very well looked after by their dedicated teaching assistant, who developed a very warm relationship with them. They enjoyed going to nursery and loved interacting with the older boys and girls.”

    Parent of children in Reception

  • “Absolutely fantastic school. It is the best decision we have ever made to bring our child to you. Thank you all so much.”

    Parent of a child in KS2

  • “As a small school, our children are known by all the teachers and pupils and are looked after by various older pupils and the teachers kept a close eye on them. They have always felt safe and loved in the school.”

    Parent of a child in Reception

  • “We are really pleased my child is doing so well and that her imagination is well valued.”

    Parent of a child in KS1

  • “The transition to reception has been very easy and the teacher is lovely and knows the girls inside out. The small class size has been a real bonus and their reading and writing has come on in leaps and bounds. They are always up to interesting and exciting new things. They love going to school and having a lot of fun.”
