The Cherwell School is a state secondary school on the Marston Ferry Road in Oxford, England. The current school site was built in 1963 as a secondary modern school, later becoming the main comprehensive school for North Oxford. Along with later expansions, in 2003, and as part of a city-wide reorganisation, it merged with the Frideswide Middle School, and is now a split site school of 1,700 students aged between 11 and 19. The Cherwell School's previous headteacher was Mr N McGowan. McGowan announced his departure on 2 April 2010 after 8 months in post.[citation needed]. McGowan left at the end of May 2010 and was replaced by acting head Paul James. In October, Paul James was appointed Headteacher.

Recent changes

The North site has recently undergone construction work, with the extension of the Sixth form common room. The original design, to accommodate only 100 students in years 12 and 13, became inadequate in recent years for the 300 or more students currently in the sixth form.[citation needed]

The main building work was construction of a new building alongside the existing block, and then removing the internal wall to create a much larger space. On the second floor of the structure, the school library has been extended to include quiet study areas, each with computer and desk facilities. Currently there are limited funds for the furnishing of this new block; an appeal has been launched on the school website for donations.[1]

The school currently has the largest number of students of any state school in Oxfordshire.
