From the Bayards Hill School
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our website and to Bayards Hill Primary School as headteacher. Bayards Hill is a cheerful and friendly community where each person is respected for their special talent. Every member of our school community is expected to do their best, and we work hard to foster a passion of learning in our students that we hope will last long after they graduate. Central Oxford's Bayards Hill Academy is supported by the Community School's Academy Trust (CSAT). We have developed close ties with Cheney School, which gives us several possibilities to use a variety of buildings and services. Our governing council is powerful and devoted, and it completely supports the school in offering the best educational possibilities to every student. Our goal is to create a learning environment at school that is stimulating, intriguing, and rich in chances for all students to succeed. Our school motto is 'Believe Bigger, Aim Higher' and to that end we support, help and learn together to enable all pupils to go from strength to strength and realise their aspirations. We hope you enjoy exploring our school's website. Please get in touch with us through the school office if you need further details; we'd be happy to assist.
