As part of the planned expansion of the Heyford area, including the development of a significant number of new homes, there is a growing need for additional school places as identified by Oxfordshire County Council. In response, the Governors of Heyford Park School, in partnership with the Trustees of EPA Trust and in discussion with Oxfordshire County Council, are proposing a formal expansion of our primary provision.

The Proposal

We propose that Heyford Park School expand from its current primary capacity from 2 to 3 and a half forms of entry. This would be facilitated by the opening of a new, dedicated primary site adjacent to the airfield (see plan). The proposed expansion also includes a reduction in the lower age limit for admission to 2+, in recognition of the community’s need for high-quality early years provision.

This new site would form part of the existing Heyford Park School, which is currently an all-through school serving children from age 3 to 19. Admissions criteria would remain unchanged, and the development would be phased to meet local demand, with a projected opening of the new site in 2028.

Public Consultation Process

The consultation aims to seek public comments on the proposed expansion of the school and design proposals. Comments can be submitted online using the form at the base of this page. Alternatively, comment sheets are available in the school reception. 

The consultation period will run from Monday 23rd June to Friday 18th July.

During this period, a public meeting will be held on Monday 14^th July at 16:30 to share and discuss the proposal in more detail

We would be most grateful for your feedback and comments relating to the proposed development at Heyford Park School. This will enable the design team to consider any issues raised ahead of making a planning application.
