Welcome to Dr. South's CE Primary School

Our school is at the heart of the village of Islip and we enjoy excellent relationships with the community. We enjoy close links with our local church, St Nicholas.

Our ethos of Nurture, Educate and Inspire applies to staff, children and families. We understand the importance of nurturing our children in order to enable them to be educated to reach their full potential. Our aim is to inspire our pupils by offering them a wide range of opportunities during their Dr. South's journey.

Dr South's has four mixed aged classes and we are able to offer a wide range of enrichment activities with our fully equipped kitchen in our Lin Cooper Practical Skills building. We also benefit from access to the Jacobs' Field which enables us to enjoy many opportunities for outdoor learning as part of our curriculum.

Our school is a strong, nurturing and supportive community where pupils flourish. Our dedicated staff ensure that all children feel safe, happy and respected. We have an ambitious curriculum which enables the children to achieve academically and high quality teaching and learning prepares the children for their futures.

We are proud to be part of Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST).

We became part of Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST) in January 2017. ODST is a thriving Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) with schools across Oxfordshire and Berkshire. It is one of the largest MATs in the region, with five geographical hubs to support school-to-school collaboration.

ODST values the unique identity of each school in the trust. Schools have the freedom to serve their individual communities in the way they know best, with support from ODST to ensure they have what they need to deliver the best for their pupils.
