HEYFORD PARK FREE SCHOOL IS APPROVED BY THE DfE


The hard work has finally paid off...

I am delighted to inform you that our proposal to develop The Heyford Park Free School has been given approval by the Department for Education.
This means that we have been given consent for a new all-through Free School that will provide 840 places for pupils aged between four and 19 by 2019, to open in September 2013.
With a strong emphasis on personal development as well as educational attainment, each year will contain two forms of entry, kept to 60 pupils per year group. The school has set high academic goals but will have close links with the local business community, providing its young people with knowledge, skills, mentorship and vocational opportunities to support them in later life.

Here is one of the many news articles that has run since the approval was granted on 13/07/12:

This is an important milestone for The Heyford Park Free School and we would like to express our thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work. Our local parents and residents have worked tirelessly to provide support for the school and we are confident that we will be able to provide the local community with the choice and opportunity that they want and need for their children.
We plan to hold an information day for parents who are interested in learning more about the Free School later this month and we encourage you to come along and meet the team.  Details of the events will be widely publicised and we hope to see you there.
If you have any questions in the meantime, or would like more information on the proposals please visit our website (www.heyfordparkfreeschool.org) or contact me on 01869 238200 or via email at s.mccready@dorchestergrp.com

Thanks again for all the support you have shown us,
