An additional message on Woodeaton Manor's own website said: "The school's water supply is being shut off due to the ongoing water works outside the school.
"We plan to be open as usual on Friday."
Thames Water is currently carrying out works on the road leading to the school, just off the B4027.
The scheme is not expected to be completed until March 20, according to the one.network roadworks map.
