Split Villages
Split Villages Transport will be provided to the designated area school from all addresses in the contiguous built-up area of the village because more than 20% of the addresses are closest to the designated area school. Transport will also be provided from individual addresses to the relevant nearest school (if different) where appropriate. Village * Nearest Schools Designated Area School Adderbury/Twyford Blessed George Napier Catholic School The Warriner School The Warriner School Ascott-under-Wychwood Burford School Burford School Chipping Norton School Dry Sandford Fitzharrys School Fitzharrys School Larkmead School Duns Tew Dr Radcliffe’s CE Primary School Dr Radcliffe’s CE Primary School Middle Barton School Freeland Bartholomew School Bartholomew School Wood Green School Great Haseley Lord Williams’s School Wheatley Park School Wheatley Park School Kirtlington Gosford Hill School The Marlborough CE School Heyford Park Free School The Marlborough CE School Long Hanborough Bartholomew School Bartholomew School The Marlborough CE School Wood Green School Old Boars Hill Fitzharrys School Fitzharrys School Matthew Arnold School South Hinksey Matthew Arnold School Matthew Arnold School St Gregory the Great Catholic School Tadmarton Bloxham CE Primary School Sibford Gower Primary School Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School Twyford/Adderbury Blessed George Napier Catholic School The Warriner School The Warriner School Yatscombe Copse Fitzharrys School Fitzharrys School St Gregory the Great Catholic School * Oxfordshire County Council considers the ‘village’ to be the contiguous built-up area.

Artweeks 10.2.Pages
saturday 8 - monday 31 may 2010 free guide www.artweeks.org Sponsored by Welcome to Artweeks 2010 2010 is set to be the biggest Artweeks ever with 474 sites exhibiting during the Festival. Artweeks plays a vital role in bringing artists and art enthusiasts and buyers together across the county. Our goal this year is to bring new audiences to the work of Oxfordshire's creative community, those who might find the idea of going to a gallery daunting. By visiting an open studio and talking to the artist you get to understand the creative process, the way they have tried to convey their ideas and the effect they have created. Most of the works on view are for sale and you'll find some originals at prices that you might pay for a mass-produced copy in a quality department store. Artweeks is all about involvement and originality; by simply going along to a couple of studios and seeing what is on offer, you too add to the vibrancy of Oxfordshire's biggest arts festival. See it. Love it. Buy it.

2Nd July 2018 Dear Parents Consultation
Oxford Road Kidlington Oxfordshire OX5 2NT Tel. 01865 374971 Fax. 01865 841029 Email: [email protected] Website: www.gosford-hill.oxon.sch.uk Headteacher: Nigel Sellars BMus Hons, LGSM 2nd July 2018 Dear Parents Consultation to join Multi-Academy Trust You may be aware that in recent years there have been significant changes to the educational landscape. These changes continue and, as a school, we have been working hard to find the right solution for us in this shifting context. We want to make sure that we take the right decisions to secure the best future for our students, their families and our local community. We are also aware that the DfE have an expectation that all schools should become part of larger groups and trusts, or Multi Academy Trusts (MATs). Currently, we are one of the few remaining stand-alone secondary academies (SAs) left in Oxfordshire. At this present moment, we have the freedom and autonomy to choose the next steps of our journey ourselves. We want these steps to take us in a direction that will allow us to build on our many existing strengths while maintaining our own, unique identity. Following careful research and investigation into the wide range of options that may be available to us, the Governing Body has begun a dialogue with one local MAT, River Learning Trust (RLT). The Governors would like to begin a formal consultation process with all stakeholders about our future and the proposal that we should consider joining this particular organisation. More details about the trust can be found at http://www.riverlearningtrust.org/information/. -
September 2017
September 2017 The Curiosity Zone was the first zone of I’m a Researcher, Get me out of here. It was funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, which is an EU funding programme to support research careers. The Zone ran for three weeks, connecting secondary school students in Oxfordshire with 22 researchers from the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. The aim was to engage students with the wide variety of local researchers and to encourage students to attend to the live final at the Curiosity Carnival on 29th September. Among the researchers online was an archaeologist looking at the DNA in chicken bones to see how ancient people travelled, a sociologist interviewing families about moving to huge cities in China, a psychologist figuring out why people like to take part in rituals, an engineer working out how to stop jet engines melting, and a medical ethics researcher asking whether you own your own body. In total, researchers answered 133 approved questions sent in by students in ASK and, there were 14 live chats with classes. The majority of the students who took part were in Science classes. There were also Geography and Psychology classes who contributed 30% of the total questions in ASK. The majority of the activity took place in the second two weeks, as the start of the event coincided with the first full week of the new academic year for students and teachers. Many of the researchers engaged well, with 18 of the 22 attending a live chat and all of them answering questions in ASK. -

A New Secondary School for Oxford
A NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR OXFORD The Cherwell School Academy Trust is proposing to open a new community comprehensive school, opening in September 2017 offering 120 places per year. The new school will be opened under the Government’s programme for Free Schools and will work in close partnership with The Cherwell School (rated by Ofsted an Outstanding School and a National Teaching School) and will also have strong links to other schools across the city enabling the new school to draw on combined strengths and experience. The new school will offer the opportunity for children to access excellent education as places in Oxford’s secondary schools come under increasing demand. Our proposal is the only one that has the backing of all local city secondary schools. We also have the support of local councillors. We aim to meet the needs of the city in a sustainable way in the years ahead. We have a proven track-record at The Cherwell School and we believe we can expand our excellent provision in a new school as part of its Multi-Academy Trust. This is the only proposal for a new school in Oxford that has the support of experienced and strong local schools. Our new school would be unique in Oxford as a smaller secondary school, providing a different experience from the other secondary schools, whilst being able to benefit from a close working relationship with The Cherwell School and other partners. Similar to The Cherwell School, the new school will offer a broad and balanced curriculum which is academically rigorous, enriching in sports, arts and culture, and flexible in order to meet the needs of the young people who attend. -
