Pupils at the new village school learned the basics of life, including how to serve in a shop and how to be a shopper.

Oxford Mail:

The school game with a touch of reality took place just a month after the school opened in October 1959.

The school ran a mini-farm, where children, living in a rural community, got experience of agriculture. The farm included hens and livestock, including Sugar and Spice, pictured here in 1982 with two of their shepherds, William Barnes, four, and Mark Jackson, six.

Oxford Mail:

Pupils concentrate on their paintings in one of the modern classrooms at the new school in 1957.
