Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website. 

We are a thriving Junior School setting situated in Wallingford, south Oxfordshire. At present, there are 235 pupils on roll. An exciting project is underway which will culminate in Fir Tree converting to a Primary setting from September 2026.

We take pride in our ethos, which is underpinned by the values of; respect, kindness, resilience, aspiration, curiosity and fairness. Pupils learn about the importance of values and how values make the person you are. In becoming citizens of the world, we learn about different cultures, religions and beliefs; we learn to understand and celebrate similarities and differences. Each child in our care is unique. We are committed to providing opportunities for them to excel and achieve and to raise their self-esteem and confidence. 

We believe that learning and teaching is far more exciting when children are given the opportunities to question, explore and investigate. English and mathematics is the bedrock of our curriculum, which is enriched with the arts and sports, whilst providing a thirst for exploring the sciences and humanities. We are living in a world that is moving very fast in the field of technology and our curriculum aims to provide the children with the skills to meet the demands of the 21^st century. We pride ourselves as a learning community where everyone is a learner.

We are extremely fortunate to have extensive grounds where we are able to offer facilities for sports and opportunities for outdoor learning in our Forest School. The children are given opportunities to take part in various sports tournaments both in and outside school, competing in local events.

We have an after school club, Fir Tree Fun Time, which runs each day from 3.15-5.30. Parents can book via the school office. Plus, we have a range of after school clubs led by professionals and the teachers, who give their time to extend the children’s interests.

All that we do and achieve is because of the strong team of professionals who, without exception, work hard to ensure that each child achieves and enjoys their time at Fir Tree.

There is a lot of information to browse through and we hope that our website gives you an insight into life at Fir Tree. Choosing your child’s school is an important decision and we believe in working together with our families. You are very welcome to come and visit us and we look forward to meeting you.

Mr Knight, Headteacher.
