The Warriner School is a coeducational secondary school situated in Bloxham, Oxfordshire, England. The school was founded in 1971 and now has 1,500 pupils in the 11–18 age range, having opened a sixth form in September 2013.[1] It has Technology College status and serves the villages in the northern half of the Cherwell District. It is notable for operating a large school farm.
The school premises contain a farm, 120acres in size and fully organic for livestock and grassland. The school has won the NFU's Rural School Of The Year Award 2005 and SSAT's Most Improved Schools Club Award 2005-06. The farm sells its produce, including, meat, eggs, and livestock,[2] although school farm produce is not used for student consumption. In late 2015, the Warriner School farm shop closed down due to lack of sales. The farm itself still runs.
The Warriner Farm is also used for educational purposes for the students of The Warriner School.
A school partnership is a group of schools that are usually primary schools feeding into the same secondary school.
The Warriner Partnership contains the following schools:
In August 2015, The Warriner School converted to academy status and is now part of The Warriner Multi Academy Trust.
