Welcome to Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School! We’re so proud of our rich heritage, which dates back to 1856, and of the vibrant, nurturing environment that makes our school such a special place for children to grow, learn, and flourish.

At Aston and Cote, we believe childhood should be full of joy, discovery, and wonder. We’re passionate about giving children the chance to experience the simple pleasures of being a child, being free, playing, being outdoors, and expressing their creativity. Our pupils enjoy forest school sessions every fortnight, spend regular afternoons in the garden, and learn outside for around 30% of their week across a range of subjects. These hands-on, real-world experiences spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and help our children feel happy, confident, and connected to the world around them.

Our dedicated team of teachers are committed to helping every child grow their talents and reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. We encourage each pupil to explore learning in their own way, developing confidence, resilience, and a genuine love of learning that will stay with them for life.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. Our school family—children, parents, staff, and governors—shares a strong sense of care, inclusivity, and mutual respect. We celebrate every child’s achievements and value each person’s unique contribution to our thriving school life.

Set in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, our school offers an idyllic setting for exploration and adventure. The village, the fields, and the woodland around us all play a part in enriching our children’s education and sense of belonging.

We warmly invite you to visit and experience the special atmosphere of Aston and Cote for yourself. Come and see how our blend of tradition, creativity, and a love of the outdoors makes our school such a joyful and inspiring place to learn.
