From the Hook Norton Church of England Primary School
We appreciate you visiting the website of Hook Norton Church of England Primary School. Over a century has passed since the school began serving the Hook Norton neighbourhood and the nearby towns as a church-run institution. In all facets of school life, as a Voluntary Controlled Church of England school, we seek to reflect our Christian foundation. Being voluntary controlled means that our funding and school employees are provided by the local education authority. All kids are welcomed into a supportive environment that encourages tolerance and understanding between people. 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. After receiving the greatest education possible in line with the goals and objectives of the school, they are confident to take advantage of the chances that lie ahead of them when they graduate. The school, located on the Sibford Road on the outskirts of Hook Norton, is a contemporary, purpose-built structure set in very lovely grounds. It is spacious, light-filled, and immaculate both inside and out. Our website provides a brief overview of our school's culture, values, academic programme, and community. Please make an appointment with the school office if you would like to come see our beautiful learning environment. All students are encouraged to grow a love of learning in this safe and inviting environment.
