We are a thriving, growing village school, located in the Oxfordshire village of Southmoor. Our vision is to grow flourishing learners, who, have a sense of belonging to our school community, believe in themselves and others and aim to be as brilliant as they can be. Our approach to life at school is that ‘happy children learn’, and this is evident through our school values and ethos.

Our school  environment is consistently safe and calm. Leaders and staff know pupils and their needs well. Our pupils understand the school's high expectations and they behave responsibly in lessons and at social times. Partnerships with our parents and carers are positive. (Ofsted December 2025)
