Visit our gallery to see what life at Oxon CE Primary School is like. I am delighted to welcome you to our school website. It is a great privilege for me to be headteacher of Oxon CE Primary School, a school in which I am immensely proud. Our school vision sets out the heart of our approach and is a good starting point for exploring the website.
The link to our most recent Ofsted report, that described our school as continuing to be Outstanding , gives a helpful commentary on what this vision looks like on a day to day basis. I am firmly of the opinion that no website, however well written and populated, can give a true picture of a working school.
I am always delighted to show visitors around the school when it is in full operation. On such occasions, I hope to be able to illustrate our commitment to seeing children working hard to achieve their full potential in a calm, caring and disciplined environment.
