Peppard Church of England Primary School
'Creating a love for learning'
Welcome from our Headteacher
Dear Visitor,
A very warm welcome to Peppard Primary School. We are proud to be a small, caring village school where every child is known, valued, and nurtured. Our vision is rooted in the words: “Encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). This principle guides everything we do, shaping our learning, relationships, and service to one another.
Our school values—compassion, humility, thankfulness, courage, forgiveness, and perseverance—are lived out daily. They inspire children to aim high, to be kind and confident, and to contribute positively to their community. Ofsted praised our nurturing ethos, aspirational curriculum, and pupils’ impressive attitudes, describing Peppard as “a small school with big ideas.”
Our beautiful setting, on the edge of Peppard Common, provides daily opportunities for outdoor learning, exploration, and responsibility. Children are trusted to use this special environment safely and respectfully, developing independence, resilience, and care for the world around them. Alongside this, our broad and enriching curriculum is brought to life through dedicated staff, inspiring projects, visitors, and experiences such as the Henley Youth Festival, literary events, and residential trips.
Sport also plays a major role in school life. From team games to individual challenges, children learn teamwork, resilience, and the joy of participation. Our pupils benefit from a wide range of clubs and extracurricular opportunities - sporting, creative, and academic - that encourage them to discover their interests, build new skills, and shine beyond the classroom.
At Peppard, children learn that their voices matter. They take on leadership roles, support charities, and work with others in ways that help them see themselves as active citizens - locally and globally. By building one another up, they discover that they can truly make a difference.
Our close links with All Saints’ Church are an important part of who we are, but we warmly welcome families of all faiths and none. What unites us is our shared commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful community where every child can flourish.
As Headteacher, I am deeply proud of the compassion, joy, and determination that shine through our school.
I warmly invite you to explore our website and even better, to visit us in person. You can be assured of a very warm welcome.
Please contact myself, or Fiona Hilton to book a visit.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Best Wishes
