Our Community

St Mary's Infant School has been an integral part of the Witney community for over 200 years, and many former pupils are still residents of the town.

The school has strong links with the Parish of Witney and is a close neighbour of the medieval church of St Mary the Virgin. Members of the parish serve as foundation governors of the school, and the Parish ministry team often leads collective worship for the school. The school uses the church for its major termly services: Harvest, Christmas and Easter.

The school takes part with others in the town in the annual Act of Remembrance around the War Memorial, and our children and staff in costume have been known to add colourful to the Witney Carnival parade!

Along with our parner school, The Batt CE Primary we take part in annual May  Dancing which takes place on Church Green, to the delight of the wider Witney community.

The school welcomes a wide variety of members of the community who come to talk to the children and to share their skills and experiences and these have included Diwali dancers, fire fighters, musicians, police officers and helicopter pilots from RAF Brize Norton.
