Orchard Fields Community School, Banbury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orchard Fields Community School is a large primary school situated on Prescott Close in the Neithrop ward of Banbury, Oxfordshire. The school was formerly two separate schools, Neithrop County Infants and Neithrop County Juniors. The latter was closed down in 2002 after it was judged by Ofsted to be failing.

Orchard Fields has 331 students in the 3 - 11 age range. The school also has a day care center, where children up to the age of 11 can go. The current headteacher is Maggie Twydell.

The school has recently moved to a newly built site on Princess Diana park, Banbury, as of September 2007.

In 2003 the disused buildings of the former junior school were badly damaged in an arson attack [1].
