Burford (Secondary) School

Burford School was founded by Charter in 1571 and has been maintained continually since that date. The school was developed as a County School from 1929 when the Foundation admitted girls.  In 1957 the school moved up the hill to its present 36 acre site. The Boarding House and surrounding staff accommodation occupy the historic site of the original Grammar school in the town.  The attractive, listed, buildings provide varied facilities within a safe environment.  This history has given Burford a unique flavour but is a school of the 21st century.
