The victims' parents wept as the man, in his 50s, admitted 23 charges of sexually assaulting girls aged between seven and 11 years old.
He also admitted making 18 indecent images of a child between March 2006 and May this year.
The teacher was working in a primary school in south Oxfordshire when he committed the "deplorable" abuse between September 2007 and May this year. He will be remanded in custody and sentenced on December 10.
His name and that of the school cannot be reported for legal reasons.
Det Ch Insp Paul Gration, who led the investigation, said: "I am relieved that the victims in this case have not been put through the ordeal of a full trial. This investigation has been difficult enough for them and I would like to personally thank them for their courage and bravery in coming forward and helping the police with this investigation.
"I hope that with time and support they are able to find some closure on this matter. "Offences of this type are deplorable by their very nature and Thames Valley Police, supported by our partners, will relentlessly pursue those that commit this sort of crime."
