LWS Merger Plans - Dropped

Plans to merge Lord Williams School onto a single site and re-develop the Lower School Site have been officially dropped by Oxfordshire County Council.

Oxfordshire County Council no longer supports the project as it feels there is too great a risk in terms of the investment necessary to support the costs of planning, including a possible bridging loan (so that new buildings at Oxford Road could be finished before moving students from the Lower School). Also, the local authority was anxious about the school’s ability to satisfy Sport England requirements for two rugby pitches.
