iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Situated in the heart of a beautiful village, 8 miles from Banbury and 4 miles from Brackley, our school is passionate about ensuring that all our children are supported and challenged, ultimately achieving their personal best. Our learners enjoy outdoor learning in a rural setting and small class sizes mean that we can provide individual support and guidance. A bit about us...
We believe that arts and sports are essential in developing resilience, creativity and imagination. Because of this, we have specialist Music, Dance and PE teachers who inspire our young learners every week to achieve creatively and on the sports field.
Greatworth School are building a community where children build the confidence, resilience and drive that will help them to grow into happy, articulate, successful young people. Our children achieve high standards and build strong foundations in the core skills. Children are empowered to change their own lives and the lives of those around them.
They are able to stand up and become pillars of the community, making a difference. They are good role-models who inspire through a love of learning and are motivated to make a positive impact on each other's lives. Together, we continually strive to remove the barriers to success and fear of failure.
