Classroom Teacher

At Bloxham Church of England Primary School, each and every child is valued for who they are, with their well-being and sense of worth being key.

Our vision is for our school to become central to its diverse community, for all members to feel included, valued and treated equitably. We believe that in nurturing and supporting our pupils, we enable them to feel emotionally safe, supporting them to be curious to learn, ambitious to succeed and to have the confidence to be creative.
