About Our School

Welcome to Graven Hill Primary and Preschool

Situated in the heart of the Graven Hill community, our school offers a vibrant and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, question, and discover the world around them. At Graven Hill Primary and Preschool, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our vision is to inspire all pupils to achieve their personal best through an engaging, inclusive, and aspirational curriculum. We place a strong emphasis on curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Children learn through hands-on experiences, problem-solving, and meaningful connections to the world beyond the classroom. These foundations help shape confident, resilient learners who are well-equipped for the challenges of the future.

As part of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust, Graven Hill benefits from a strong network of schools that collaborate to share best practice, develop staff, and enrich the learning experience for all children. The Trust, established in 2015, includes both primary and secondary schools across Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire and has a strong reputation for excellence in education. Its proven track record of supporting smaller and growing schools ensures that Graven Hill will benefit from experienced leadership, robust systems, and a commitment to high standards from the outset.

This partnership allows us to offer outstanding opportunities from the very beginning. Our founding team includes highly skilled educators drawn from across the Trust, all dedicated to delivering a high-quality education and creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and supported.

Graven Hill Primary and Preschool opened its doors in September 2023 and will grow to accommodate up to 420 pupils from Reception to Year 6, alongside 90 places in our purpose-built preschool provision. Our school has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of modern learners, with high-quality learning environments, extensive outdoor spaces, and a strong emphasis on wellbeing and community.

At Graven Hill, we believe that education is most successful when families and schools work together. We are committed to building strong partnerships with parents, carers, and the wider community, ensuring that every family feels welcome, informed, and involved in school life. In the lead-up to opening and beyond, we provide regular opportunities for families to visit, meet the team, and become part of the journey from the very beginning.

Together, we are building something truly special—a school rooted in community, driven by excellence, and dedicated to nurturing the potential in every child.
