Tower Hill Primary School is a friendly and welcoming school in the market town of Witney situated on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are also very
close to the vibrant university city of Oxford. Tower Hill serves a community of families from a range of socio-economic backgrounds. We are a values based school, which pupils, staff and parents are all very proud of. Tower Hill has a real family feel and many of our pupils’ parents and even grandparents attended the school themselves.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.
