Message from the Headteacher - Mrs Watts
Dear Parents,
I have been privilegded to work for the last eleven years at Appleton School. Each day has been an exciting learning journey, which at times has been challenging, but always fulfilling. I have enjoyed seeing children and staff learning and developing their talents and skills. The phrase from our Ofsted report 'giving children wings to fly' really sums up the sense of purpose and joy that underpins what we do at Appleton.
It is therefore, an enviroment that is difficult to leave. However I think the time has come to hand over to someone else who I hope will continue to lead and develop this wonderful school from September.
I have greatly enjoyed and valued your support and friendship, and I really do believe that this trust has enabled Appleton to grow and flourish.
Appleton Church of Engalnd School will always have a very special place in my heart and I wish the school and the governors every success in recruiting a new head teacher.
Yours sincerely,
Mary Watts
About our School
About Appleton C of E Primary School
The school, built originally in 1837, was rebuilt on its present site in 1961. It was improved and extended to form the present school building. It is a single storey school with six classrooms, a multi-purpose hall, an ICT/ resource room and administration area.
Appleton is a Church of England Aided primary school. The site was donated in 1837, thirty-three years before State Education was established, to provide education for the children of the parish with Church of England teaching.
Oxfordshire Local Education Authority pays the running costs which are delegated to the governing body. However, the governors, the majority of whom represent the Parochial Church Council and the Diocese of Oxford, have financial responsibility for 10% of the capital costs of improvements to the school.
As a church school, we have close links with St. Laurence’s Church. The rector visits the school regularly and the major festivals are observed in the church.
