Headteacher Welcome

Woodstock CE Primary is a school where individuals are valued and helped to achieve their personal best. Children are supported in becoming confident and independent young people who thrive on challenge and are motivated to learn. We believe that the ‘special feel’ at Woodstock comes from our caring, supportive, and friendly environment—something that visitors often comment on.

I am extremely proud to lead a team that is deeply committed to children's well-being, achieving high standards, and providing the very best opportunities for all in our care. Staff, supported by dedicated governors, work tirelessly to deliver a rich and challenging curriculum that prepares children for their future and equips them with the skills and enthusiasm to embrace life’s opportunities and responsibilities.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 praised the school across all areas, highlighting the “highly ambitious curriculum,” “exemplary attitudes to learning,” and the inclusive ethos that allows all children to “let their light shine.” Inspectors described Woodstock CE Primary as a place where “pupils are deeply engrossed in their education,” “achieve highly,” and “are extremely well prepared for the next stage of their education.” We were delighted that all areas, including the Early Years, were recognised as outstanding.

The excellent start begins in our Nursery and continues throughout the school. Staff provide a happy, purposeful environment and a curriculum that excites children’s imaginations and supports creative thinking. Learning is enriched through cross-curricular approaches, themed days, 'Big Questions', and an extensive programme of trips, visits, and after-school clubs.

Our pupils are well nurtured and inspired to do their personal best.

To find out more, we warmly invite you to visit the school, meet our staff and children, and experience the learning in action. Please call the school office on 01993 812209 to arrange a visit.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school and building a happy and successful partnership with your family.
