The Warriner School is a coeducational secondary school situated on the edge of Bloxham, Oxfordshire, England. The school was founded in 1971 and now has 1,114 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 has a catering service and canteen.

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 useful to student education, as Rural Studies lessons can be held out on the farm, giving the teachers the ability to demonstrate with live animals.
