On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to the Clifton Hampden C of E Primary School website. I hope you enjoy reading about our caring learning community, situated at the heart of one of South Oxfordshire's loveliest villages.
With close links with St Michael & All Angels Church, our Christian ethos underpins the warm atmosphere that it is clearly evident to all who visit. Our school is a wonderfully nurturing environment, where children flourish and grow to become curious, compassionate and courageous young people, excited about life and learning.
As a village school we pride ourselves on our ability to know each pupil as an individual and deliver a well-planned, varied curriculum which inspires and challenges. Through a balance of challenge and support our children learn to be resilient in all that they do.
They are encouraged to ask questions, think creatively to solve problems, collaborate with peers and develop skills that will lay the foundations for their future success.
