Head Teacher's Welcome

A very warm welcome from our Head Teacher

Live Love Care Think Learn Dare

Thank you for visiting Hook Norton Church of England Primary School’s website.  The 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 (30 hour funded places are available) 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 on the outskirts of Hook Norton. It is bright and airy and very well maintained inside and out. Our website offers a snapshot of life at our school, our values, curriculum and community.  If you would like to visit us to see our wonderful learning environment, please do contact the school office to make an appointment.
