Heyford Park School is a free school in Upper Heyford, England. The school was opened in November 2020[1] after the Heyford Park Free School was closed in September 2020.[2] In the school's most recent inspection (October 2023) Ofsted rated it as good.[3][4] The school is a part of the Eynsham Partnership Academy Trust.

History

[edit]

Heyford Park School was originally established as Heyford Park Free School in September 2013. After receiving an Ofsted rating of inadequate in September 2019,[5][6] the school closed and reopened as Heyford Park School, joining the Eynsham Partnership Academy Trust.[7]

The school was built on an old US Air Force base, which was originally an RAF bomber station, and utilises a lot of the buildings of the base.[8][7]
