Burford School is a mixed secondary school with academy status located in Burford, Oxfordshire, England. The school was founded in 1571.
The school is located at the southern end of Burford. The school catchment area includes the towns of Witney and Carterton, and villages such as the Wychwoods. More than a thousand students study at Burford. In the Sixth Form students can study A-levels such as Law (No longer listed) and Economics, and English. Burford has been granted Academy Status.
The Boarding Houses are situated at the end of Lawrence Lane – a no-through lane leading to the Church at the bottom of the High Street. The entrance is at the end of the lane – OX18 4RP. The boarding house, Lenthall House (/ˈlɛnθəl/ or /ˈlɛnθɔːl/) accepts international students, largely from the United kingdom.
In Year 9 students choose the subjects they will take for their GCSE Exams in Year 10 and 11. Science, Maths, English, Physical Education and Religious Education are all compulsory, as is a choice of one of many Technology subjects.
The school has a link with Bishop Dunstan School in Kalangala, Ssese Island Uganda. Each two-year cycle a group of 14 students visit Uganda and then 14 exchange students return. The fundraising has achieved the construction of a boarding house, library and computer suite in Uganda, as well as the training of a School Nurse.
