However, by 1912 and following several moves; the school admitted 16 boarders for the first time and moved to 3 Bradmore Road. By 1918, the school moved to the current site (74 Banbury Road) and the traditional forest green school uniform was adopted, the constitution formed and a system of House Mothers documented for the first time. By 1923, the Old Girls\u2019 Association was formed and the first magazine published.<\/p>\n<p>Three years on and \u2018The Hut\u2019 was constructed allowing the pupils to do gym and also produce plays. Miss Coster, as co-principal in the 1920s, introduced the school council system and a constitution that exists to this day. The school continued to expand and in 1941, Miss Snodgrass became the Headmistress and she introduced The Dalton System of Learning, replacing classrooms with subject rooms for the first time. In 1952, the school became an Educational Trust and the first Board of Management was formed.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"block-fc-image-carousel text-center\">\n\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__image\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wychwood-about-us-history-back-of-house-1-1200x675-c-default.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wychwood-about-us-history-back-of-house-1-640x640-c-default.webp 640w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wychwood-about-us-history-back-of-house-1-768x768-c-default.webp 768w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wychwood-about-us-history-back-of-house-1-2048x2048-c-default.webp 2048w\n\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"\n\t\t\t(min-width: 2000px) 2048px,\n\t\t\t(min-width: 720px) calc(94.76vw - 274px),\n\t\t\t(min-width: 520px) calc(100vw - 96px),\n\t\t\tcalc(100vw - 32px)\n\t\t\"\n\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\tdata-image-id=\"2223\"\n\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slick-controls\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-prev-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-next-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"block_two-column-flexible-content\" class=\"block block-two-column-flexible-content theme--grey my-0 py-lg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-x narrow medium-up-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"block-fc-image-carousel text-center\">\n\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide__image\" data-aos=\"fade-in\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wychwood-fees-girl-playing-trumpet-1200x675-c-default.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wychwood-fees-girl-playing-trumpet-640x640-c-default.webp 640w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wychwood-fees-girl-playing-trumpet-768x768-c-default.webp 768w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/wychwoodschool.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/wychwood-fees-girl-playing-trumpet-2048x2048-c-default.webp 2048w\n\t\t\"\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"\n\t\t\t(min-width: 2000px) 2048px,\n\t\t\t(min-width: 720px) calc(94.76vw - 274px),\n\t\t\t(min-width: 520px) calc(100vw - 96px),\n\t\t\tcalc(100vw - 32px)\n\t\t\"\n\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\tdata-image-id=\"1345\"\n\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slick-controls\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-prev-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"fc-image-carousel-next-arrow\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-fc-content\" data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-delay=\"200\">\n\t<div class=\"fc-content grid-x grid-padding-x grid-padding-y\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n      <p class=\"h2 mb-sm\">Constant Evolution<\/p>\n<p>Some time later, in 1971, the new library was opened and a new Headmistress, Mrs Schuller, was appointed. Following Mrs Duffill\u2019s appointment as Headmistress in 1981, the school bought its first computer, careers\u2019 evenings were introduced and weekly boarders were encouraged. By the 1990s, the school had a new dining area offering self-service to the pupils and staff. The Duke of Edinburgh Awards were offered at this point and work experience encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>It was in 1993 that the Friends of Wychwood was established and then a few years later The Young Enterprise Scheme was first offered to the pupils. Mrs Wingfield Digby became Headmistress in 1999 and the library was refurbished in 2001 with a legacy from Miss Snodgrass and opened a new Hall with retractable seating in 2006 (the original Hut having been removed). Mrs Johnson followed in 2012 to take over the reigns for the next decade of the school\u2019s history, overseeing Wychwood School becoming Wychwood School, Oxford Ltd with Albion Schools Partnership.<\/p>\n<p>In the school\u2019s 125th year (2022), the school welcomed its 8th new Head, Mrs Evans, who is looking forward to leading the school into another new era of co-education with new opportunities for boys and girls to enjoy and celebrate.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"block_a78b2317c468a21503b867d5504d0102\" class=\"block block-callout-text grid-container theme--duck-light my-0 py-lg text-center\">\n\t\t<div data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"width--default\">The Benefits of Wychwood School <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"block_two-column-flexible-content\" class=\"block block-two-column-flexible-content theme--primary my-0 py-lg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-x narrow medium-up-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-fc-content\" data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-delay=\"200\">\n\t<div class=\"fc-content grid-x grid-padding-x grid-padding-y\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cell\">\n      <p class=\"h2 mb-sm\">A Bright Future<\/p>\n<p>In September 2022, Mrs. Jane Evans was appointed and the future looks brighter than ever.
