Milham Ford School was a girl's secondary school in Oxford, England.
The school was established in 1906 close to Magdalen College School in Cowley Place.[1] It began as a private foundation but in 1923 was sold to the local education authority, which rapidly expanded it by adding huts as extra classrooms.[1]
In 1939 the school moved to new and larger premises on a 16-acre (6.5 ha) site between Harberton Mead (which was its address) and Marston Road, south of Jack Straw's Lane.[2][3]
Milham Ford became a girls' grammar school in 1944 and a girls' comprehensive school in 1974. The school was closed in 2003 and was sold.[4][5]
Mary Roper Price[who?] was a Headmistress of the school.[6]
In 2004, the School of Health Care of Oxford Brookes University started to use the building.[7]
