Wantage Primary Academy opened in September 2020 with just a few small classes and, by September 2025, we have grown to around 330 pupils in a Nursery class, 2 Reception classes, 2 Year 1 classes, 2 Year 2 classes, 2 Year 3 classes, a Year 4 class, 2 small Year 5 classes and a Year 6 class. We will eventually grow to a full, 2-form entry primary school. This is a golden opportunity to plan and implement outstanding provision within a growing team.
We joined our small family of Omnia Learning Trust Primary schools, two in nearby Didcot and one in Twickenham, and benefit from the strong partnerships and collaborative practises we have embedded across the Trust. We have expertise and experience opening brand new schools and growing exceptional teaching and learning environments where staff and children both thrive.
We value and develop all our staff and there are many exciting opportunities in the OLT for teachers and leaders to grow and to pursue their talents and professional interests.
