Welcome to Wheatley Park School
We take pride in our learning environment and in being a school where Learning Comes First. A culture of learning is our highest priority and we balance this with two other key values: ‘Aiming for Excellence’, focusing on being ambitious for every member of the school; and ‘Respect and Responsibility’ which emphasises the way we aim to work together. Teachers and support staff work hard for the young people and we understand that ‘going the extra mile’ can make all the difference. New technologies play an increasingly important part in our work, as we seek to prepare youngsters for a fast-changing future.
We are a school that has been developing and improving in recent years, reflected in real improvements to academic results. There is a lot happening here, with a good range of visits and creative and sporting opportunities.
Our school site is a very special environment and provides endless inspiration in the natural environment, for creative work and especially for the wealth of historical associations.
The website is full of information and inspiration, but there’s lots more to say. Do make contact if you’d like to know more.

READMOREHistory of the School
Wheatley Park School today occupies the site of Holton Park 5 miles south east of Oxford, adjacent to the ancient coaching village of Wheatley.
Holton was a manorial village up to 1913 with an archaeological history going back to Neolithic times. The school takes full advantage of this long and varied history, and the 
Arts Centre is itself the Regency Manor House that was completed in 1808 by Elisha Biscoe. In more recent times a grammar school was founded here in 1949 for east Oxfordshire, and in 1971 Wheatley Park Comprehensive School was opened on two site. This site was the Upper School for students from the ages of 14-18 and the Shotover School in Wheatley was the Lower School for students aged 11-14. In the early 1980's the school was moved onto the Holton Site with many new and re-furbished buildings being built for a school of up to 1400 students.
If you would like to find out more about the fascinating history of the site including royal conspiracies and Cromwell's daughter's wedding, please click on the following two links;
