Introduction
Investing in the future for Wallingford families
Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) is pleased to be consulting on an exciting development project to provide new facilities and expand the age range of St Nicholas CE Infants' School and Fir Tree Junior School in Wallingford.
St Nicholas CE Infants' School and Fir Tree Junior School have a long history of providing excellent education in Wallingford. From September 2026, both will undergo a change of phase to become all-through primary schools, bringing them in line with other Oxfordshire schools. Both will provide high-quality education for children aged 3-11, with nursery provision at each school to ensure children get off to the best start.
What is the proposal?
The plan is designed to provide high-quality education for the future, meeting the needs of local families as new housing contributes to the the town growing and developing. St Nicholas school will move to a brand new building, located on a new site as part of the Highcroft housing development. Fir Tree will remain on its current site, with new and upgraded facilities.
The project is being delivered by Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST), Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) and Oxford Diocesan Board of Education (ODBE), with major capital investment from the Highcroft housing estate developers and OCC.
