History

Grammar school

The school's origins begin with Littlemore Grammar School.

Comprehensive

In 1968 Littlemore Grammar School merged with Northfield Secondary Modern School to form Oxford's first comprehensive school - the Peers School.

The Academy

The Oxford Academy opened in September 2008 on the site of Peers School, which had been designated a failing school. It initially used the existing buildings from the former school. In March 2009 the construction of a new, purpose-built £33 million school building was approved by Oxfordshire County Council.[1] The new building was opened to pupils in February 2011.[2] The Academy was placed in special measures in January 2013, following an Ofsted inspection in November 2012. David Brown was appointed headmaster as a result of the inspection. In January 2015 the school's rating was improved and it was taken out of special measures.[3] However following a subsequent inspection in 2019 the Academy was rated "inadequate" and returned to special measures.[4]

The Academy's sponsors are Beecroft Trust (a charitable initiative of venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft), the Diocese of Oxford, and Oxford Brookes University. It has 1,267 students, including a sixth form. Class sizes are smaller than average in the state sector, with between 20 and 25 students in a class rather than between 25 and 30.[3] After being returned to special measures in 2020 an interim academy board and intermin headteacher, David Terry, were appointed to oversee planned changes.[5] In March 2020 Nora Ward was appointed as the new permanent headteacher from September 2020.[6]
