Oxon is a large primary school with approximately 420 children on roll. It is situated on the western side of Shrewsbury in an area that has seen a considerable number of new houses built in the last thirty years. Over that time the school has grown from two classes to fourteen classes. For the last thirteen years the school has been close to capacity.
