Hi,
We have just moved to outside Chipping Norton and need to start looking at primary schools. Any recommendations? Particularly looking at schools in Chipping Norton and the surrounding villages - Chadlington, Charlbury, Enstone. Or any further afield??
Thank you so much 😊

All of the schools you mention are pretty good,Charlbury is larger, so if small village school is what you are interested in the other ones are better.

You will find it easier to narrow down if you start with your local primary then visit the next nearest ones.

I’d suggest looking outside Chipping Norton itself if you can. Chadlington has a reputation for creative curriculum and topic-based learning. My son was really happy there and learned lots without even noticing. Enstone and Charlbury are also really good schools. It does make a difference to go to school with local children so if any of these is your catchment school, it will be great.

Thank you! We really liked Chadlington when we looked around so nice to hear how much your son liked it. The curriculum was one of the things that appealed to me about it!

Kingham has the best state primary school around Chipping Norton
