Uffington is a rural village in south-west Oxfordshire, about halfway between Faringdon and Wantage. The village is best known for the Uffington White Horse (an ancient chalk sculpture carved into the hillside above the village), and each year hosts the White Horse Show (a country fair that raises money for local community
projects).
The majority of our pupils come from Uffington and the two neighbouring villages of Baulking and Woolstone, with most pupils able to walk to school. The local community has a good mix of people with different
backgrounds and talents, and that feeds though into the school.
Uffington is a small primary school with an intake of 15 children a year. This means we have four mixed-age classes (all named after famous local places): White Horse Class (nursery and reception children in a shared EYFS setting), Ridgeway Class (years 1 and 2), Dragon Class (years 3 and 4); Wayland Class (years 5 and 6). The school currently has 110
children. In our small school Everyone Matters, and one of the times we see that is on Founder’s Day each summer, as we celebrate the progress of each of our departing Year 6 pupils. Wayland Class perform in a thanksgiving service in the church, followed by a family picnic on the school field (including sweets being catapulted onto the field from the church tower). It is a moving and enjoyable way to bring the broader school community together.
