Chipping Norton School is a rural comprehensive school with over 1,150 pupils from 11 to 18 years of age. It serves the attractive Cotswold market town of Chipping Norton, about 20 miles north of Oxford, the nearby town of Charlbury and the surrounding villages of Chadlington, Enstone and Great Tew, Hook Norton, Kingham, Middle Barton and the Rollrights.
Chipping Norton School is a specialist Performing Arts School and is also a
training school for teachers entering the profession.
The curriculum is broad and balanced, based on a strong belief in the value of each subject area. From Years 7 to 11, all pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, Religious Education, Information Communication Technology, Physical Education, Technology, Personal, Social and Health Education, at least one Modern Foreign Language, at least one of the Humanities and a Creative Art (Art, Drama and Music). There are also opportunities to take Business Studies or a prevocational course in Years 10 and 11. Pupils are therefore prepared for up to 11 GCSE examinations at 16. In the Sixth Form there is a full range of GCE AS and A2 subjects and GNVQ courses.
Chipping Norton Schools Partnership comprises the secondary school
and ten feeder primary schools, two within Chipping Norton and eight in
outlying villages (see 'Primary Schools' page for details). The 'Extended Schools' programme (see download leaflet below) has been commended as innovative and forward looking
in the way it has engaged parents and pupils learning together in their
leisure time as well as in the sports schemes developed with the
neighbouring joint-use leisure centres.

 Blessed George Napier School
Mission Statement:Blessed George Napier is a Catholic School and Sixth form which seeks to appreciate and develop the talents of each individual.
Inspired
by the life of Christ and his teaching, Blessed George Napier, in
active partnership with home, parish and wider community, endeavours to
prepare its members to face the future with confidence and take up the
challenge of the Gospel.
We offer a great range of subjects at GCSE, AS and A2 Levels and are successful in our results.
Examination performance is an important measure of success and at Blessed George Napier we
also emphasise that the process of maturing and becoming responsible young adults is crucial
to us in fulfilling our Mission Statement. We provide a Christian, Catholic education and for
many of our families this is desired and appreciated. Particularly successful are the Annual
Pilgrimage to Lourdes for the Sixth Form, the highly successful choir tours in Europe, and the
exciting American Exchange visits to Memphis, Tennessee.
