Hi,
We are strongly considering a move somewhere west of Oxford as soon as we are able to this year. Husband needs a Trainline into London for 2/3 days a week so looking at west of Oxford.
Can anyone tell me about the Henry Box School please and also Bartholomew if you have experience of them? We really like Witney but feel put off by some reports of staff turbulence and morale issues at Henry Box. But it does offer a wide range of subjects.
I know nothing of Bartholomew other than I know it has an excellent reputation and is Ofsted outstanding. Is it hard to get into? We were looking at Church/Long Hanborough which seems to be within catchment.
I'd really appreciate your thoughts as it is a frustrating not being able to go and take a tour of the school/meet staff etc Our daughter hasn't had a great experience of secondary school so far so this has to be right. Our other daughter is due to start secondary school this September. So we would be looking at Years 7 and 10.
Thank you.
