Class Teacher

Our school was originally built in 1896 and was one of the first schools in Didcot, in fact the original Victorian building is still used by our youngest children today. Whilst we are very proud of our history, our mission today is building future citizens.

We believe that every child should have the best possible start to their education and should be given a wide range of opportunities and the skills to fulfil their potential.  Our school is committed to providing a challenging and stimulating environment where the success of all is important. 

Our core values are ambition, respect, courage, tenacity, independence and community. We believe that these six core values, which are at the heart of our school, provide pupils with the guidance necessary to be active citizens who are able to contribute to their local and wider communities. By providing high quality teaching and developing a love of learning we aim to enable all pupils to aspire to excellence.
