North Kidlington School was opened in 1961. It was built to serve the northern area of Kidlington and the outlying communities to the north, including Shipton on Cherwell, Thrupp, Bunkers Hill and Campsfield, for which school transport is provided.

The school buildings include two halls, spacious classrooms and a computer suite, which is well used by all classes. The number on roll averages two hundred and fifty children. We admit all four year-old children the September before their fifth birthday.

An open and trusting relationship between the school and home is essential if a child is to thrive at school, and we encourage parents to take an active interest in their child’s education. We welcome parents into school to share our work and to help in classrooms, and we strive to create an atmosphere where children feel secure yet challenged, with emphasis placed on the positive aspects of their work.

Prospective parents are very welcome to visit the school, by appointment with the Head Teacher

North Kidlington School is a member of the Kidlington Partnership of Schools, which includes Gosford Hill School (secondary), Dr. South’s Islip, Edward Feild, St. Thomas More RC, West Kidlington primary schools, and Woodeaton Manor Special School. The Head Teachers meet termly. The partnership offers the opportunity for :

• Teachers to meet for curriculum support
• Opportunity for the Partnership to make bids and receive funding for particular projects
• Opportunities for primary schools to collaborate with our secondary school. Sport and ICT are good examples of this.
