Ogbourne CofE Primary School

A School Where Every Child Is A Candle Waiting To Be Lit
""I am the Light of The World," Jesus said." - John 8.12
 

Welcome. Welcome. And once again, welcome. Both to Ogbourne CofE Primary School and to our new look website, both of which are currently enjoying a well-earned renaissance.

We are extremely proud to be a Church school, a school in the heart of our community with the community at its heart. Gently nestling in the most stunning rural scenary, our village is surrounded by rolling hills, farmlands and history. In such a special locale, we have the power to create a unique educational environment wherein children are nurtured to achieve the very highest standards as guided by our Christian Values of Love, Friendship, Integrity, Respect, Effort and Hope. Through these values we are committed to achieving the very best for our children. We firmly believe that our pupils have the capacity and the potential to light up the world, thus our vision is that every child is a candle waiting to be lit. For us this is not a duty, it is a privilege.

Working closely with parents, Governors, Excalibur - our Multi-Academy Trust - and our local community, our children are at the heart of all that we do. Each and every child is valued, loved and cared for as an individual, from the moment we welcome them into our school through to the time that we bid them a fond farewell as they move onto secondary education.

In 2015, we joined Excalibur Multi-Academy Trust, a family of like-minded schools including St John's, Marlborough, our local secondary school, in order to secure 'all-through' learning. Excalibur's Vision - "Achieving Excellence - Empowering Individuality" - ties in perfectly with our own. 

We are, quite rightly, incredibly proud of our children's achievements; please take a look at our SATs results, our Ofsted Inspections, and our SIAMS Inspections, to see why.

Whether you are a prospective parent, a new member of our community, an ex-pupil or simply an old friend we would be delighted to welcome you to visit and join our family.
