Henry Box School

Henry Box School

The Henry Box School was established in 1660 by grocer Henry and Mary Box, and is a Comprehensive secondary school located in Witney, Oxfordshire, England. For 300 years, it was a public Grammar School, but was converted to a state Comprehensive School in 1968. It has a catchment area of the town and many surrounding villages such as Aston and Bampton. It has approximately 1500 students, aged 11-18. The Latin motto of the Henry Box School is 'Studio Floremus', which can be translated as 'By study we flourish'. The current headteacher is Mrs. Nicola Edmondson, the first female headteacher at the school in all of its 350 years.

The school was granted Specialist College status in September 2001 for Modern Foreign Languages, in recognition of its high academic standards across the curriculum, and was the first school in Oxfordshire to gain a second specialism, that of Science and Maths in 2006.
