“Live Love Care Think Learn Dare”

Hook Norton Church of England Primary School has served the community of Hook Norton and the surrounding villages as a church controlled school for over a hundred years. As a Voluntary Controlled Church of England school we aim to reflect our Christian foundation in all aspects of school life. Being Voluntary Controlled means that the Local Education Authority employs the school staff and provides our budget.

All children are welcomed into a caring, committed atmosphere, which promotes an attitude of mutual tolerance and understanding. From the age of 3 in our Nursery through to the age of 11 in Year 6, each child is nurtured and encouraged to give their best in all aspects of school and community life. On leaving, they are confident to make the most of the opportunities ahead of them having experienced the best possible education that follows from the school’s aims and objectives.

The school is a modern, purpose built design set in very attractive grounds on the Sibford Road in Hook Norton and is bordered by fields on two sides. It is bright and airy and very well maintained inside and out.
