History
editHeyford Park School was originally established as Heyford Park Free School in September 2013. After receiving an Ofsted rating of inadequate in September 2019,[5][6] the school closed and reopened as Heyford Park School, joining the Eynsham Partnership Academy Trust.[7]
The school was built on an old US Air Force base, which was originally an RAF bomber station, and utilises a lot of the buildings of the base.[8][7]
