About

Eastrop is a forward-thinking, infant academy nestled in Highworth, on the border of Wiltshire and Oxfordshire, for children aged between 2 and 7. We believe that learning has no limits and do our best to make sure that every day is outstanding for every child who attends our school.

Our vision is absolutely clear: we will be recognised nationally and locally as a beacon of educational excellence - a little school that thinks Big! The staff, specialists in the early years, keep the children at the centre of their work and decision making. The strong leadership demonstrated in part by the revision of the school vision is impressive.

Eastrop provides children with an exciting environment in which they grow and develop by learning lots and making great friends. We are very well supported by an active FOES and parents who are overwhelmingly positive about our school.

Alongside our ambitious and highly effective Academy Committee, we have an unwavering desire for the children to receive the very best, all-round education so that they are confident, independent and ready to take their next steps when they leave us at the end of Year 2.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
