From the Woodcote Primary School
Thank you for visiting Woodcote Primary School!
Being the headteacher of such a bustling local school is a true delight.
Since Easter 2014, I have been in this position, and every day I discover something new that makes me grin.
South Oxfordshire's Woodcote Village houses the school, which is nestled next to Langtree Secondary School, where the majority of our kids continue on to year 7.
We at Woodcote set high standards for our students' behaviour as well as their academic performance.
Children are given numerous opportunities to realise their potential, and they are urged to seize each one.
We received the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom's Bronze Mark in appreciation for the standard, range, and regularity of our outings and visits.
By getting to know each student as a person, comprehending their preferred methods of learning, and collaborating with them to achieve their absolute best, we will do everything in our power to help the students in our school reach their full potential.
Here, we make an effort to offer you a taste of our school, but we encourage you to visit.
I would enjoy showing you around our school.
To schedule a visit with us at any time throughout the year, contact the office.
