As we approach the end of another school year I would like to say a huge thank you to the Dorchester community for the continued support for our wonderful little school. One of our outgoing Year Six children told a visitor ‘We are a small school with a big heart.’
The opportunities offered to us from our community are excellent and some highlights from this year have been the Opera in the Abbey, continued visits to forest school and the fun of the festival with Nick Cope.
We would also like to say a huge thank you to the Hurst Water Meadow Trust who have funded a specialist forest school teacher for us so all our children have had enjoyed regular afternoons out at Forest School this year.
We still have so much to look forward to and we are hoping the weather improves for our upcoming sports day and our summer fete.
Our older children are preparing for their residential trip to Woodlands and are very much looking forward to their week of adventures; climbing, canoeing, caving and making lots of new friends.
We also have trips out to Beale Park and the Ashmolean Museum to look forward to.
Please do take some time to visit ‘Birinox’; the Ox we decorated for the Sobell House Oxtrail over summer. You will find him in Pettits Menswear in Wallingford.
We are really proud of everything being achieved in our school and we would love to welcome you for a tour on the morning of 14th November if you are looking for a school place in September 2025.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our new children into our Reception Class in September.
We would also like to wish our Year Six children all the very best as they transition into secondary school in September. We know they are going to do us proud.
We hope everyone has a wonderful summer.
We run a breakfast club and an after-school club. We have places available and if you would like to see what we could offer your child please give us a call to arrange a tour. You can find out more from our website here: https://www.st-birinus-pri.oxon.sch.uk/
