Oxon CE Primary School

Buildings and Facilities

Oxon CE Primary School is situated in its own spacious grounds off Racecourse Lane in Bicton Heath.  The school relocated onto this site in 1959 when two classrooms were built.  Over the following decades, several extensions increased the number of classes to fourteen.  From 2001 onwards, the school was refurbished to provide a modern, high-quality learning environment.

School Hall

There is a multi-purpose hall which is used for worship (assemblies), P.E., music, dance and drama, and for whole school events such as our two annual drama productions.  The hall is also used for meals during lunchtime.  In 2024, a major building project was completed to double the size of the hall.

ICT Suite

The school has a well-equipped ICT suite with 32 networked workstations and also has over 140 wireless-enabled laptop computers and i-Pads for use in other areas of the school.  All classes are equipped with interactive panels which are used to enhance the children’s learning through the presentation of high-quality teaching materials and access to interactive learning experiences.

Playground and School Fields

Outside the main building there are large, well-equipped, hard play areas and extensive school fields which are used to support learning across the curriculum.  In 2008, the school completed a major project to significantly enlarge the school grounds by incorporating a large adjacent area of local authority land into the school grounds. This project has facilitated the generous external space that we now enjoy.

Forest School Area

The school has a 'forest schools area' which is used to enhance children’s learning in a range of areas and a gardening area for growing vegetables.
