Heyford Park School is an ‘all-through’ academy, teaching pupils aged 3 – 16 on 2 sites in Heyford Park. Originally created in 2013, the existing school is now undersized and has insufficient capacity to meet the demands of the local community. The secondary provision at Heyford Park School needs to expand by 1 form-of-entry to meet the demand for additional pupil places from new and planned local housing development. 

The school is managed by the Eynsham Partnership Academy (EPA) Trust and this expansion project is being delivered in conjunction with Oxfordshire County Council. The project is funded via Section 106 monies generated by the wider development of Heyford Park. The proposed expansion is required by August 2027 ready for the new academic year. 

The preferred solution proposes to relocate the primary provision to the current Specialism Campus in order to create additional accommodation at the Officers Mess site to expand the secondary provision. The secondary school would continue to use the specialism campus for sporting activities only, significantly reducing the need for large numbers of pupils to move between the two sites with significant operational, timetabling & safeguarding benefits for the school and its pupils. The project represents a significant opportunity to improve, rationalise and consolidate the secondary provision that is currently split and provided across two sites.
