The Warriner School is a coeducational secondary school situated in Bloxham, Oxfordshire, England. The school was founded in 1971 and now has 1,500 pupils in the 11–18 age range, having opened a sixth form in September 2013.[1] It has Technology College status and serves the villages in the northern half of the Cherwell District. It is notable for operating a large school farm.

The school is named after Doreen Warriner who was born nearby and is buried in Bloxham.

Farming and rural studies

The school premises contain a farm, 120 acres (0.49 km2) in size and fully organic for livestock and grassland. The school has won the NFU's Rural School Of The Year Award 2005 and SSAT's Most Improved Schools Club Award 2005-06. The farm sells its produce, including, meat, eggs, and livestock,[2] although school farm produce is not used for student consumption. In late 2015, the Warriner School farm shop closed down due to lack of sales. The farm itself still runs.

The Warriner Farm is also used for educational purposes for the students of The Warriner School.[clarification needed]

February 2023 protests

The protest received press coverage, with articles published by BBC News,[3] The Banbury Guardian,[4] Oxfordshire Live, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Mirror,[5] the Daily Mail, Oxford Mail, The Northampton Chronicle and Banbury FM, resulting in a press release being published by Executive Headteacher Dr Annabel Kay.
