Ogre Primary school is a public school with 740 students aged from 7 to 12 years.
Ogre Primary school is the largest primary school in Ogre Municipality.
Our mission as a school is to raise students who are qualified, determined, honest, reliable and well educated.
School priorities are:
-improving the quality of education, particularly in early school years- in native language, mathematics, science, foreign languages, IT;
-promote healthy lifestyle;
- provide special needs pupils with optimal conditions for personality development and learning;
- perceive students strengths, motivating to learn, develop interests and talents in various afterschool activities;
- integrate school community locally and within European Union;
- cooperate with partners from other countries in order to exchange experiences.
To provide inclusive education students with special education needs are integrated in the regular classes and most part of teachers have special qualifications. The school has psychologists and speech therapists who individually assist and support students.
After lessons students can attend different interest groups, art and sport activities and most of them spend at school all day.
There are many students who come from Russian and other minority families. Although there are lots of Latvian families who move to foreign countries, the new challenge for us is Latvian students, who return to school after their families have lived abroad for a long time.
Part of our pupils come from families with low socio-economical background, problematic families, where we meet such problems as divorce, lack of child care, childrens abuse, domestic violence, family conflicts.
Teachers at our school do a really great effort in modifying and improving their teaching methods and materials to meet current student needs.
