The picture below gives you an impression of the Banbury Road campus. Since this was drawn, we have acquired two further buildings close to those shown. One provides a base for Social Studies and Theatre Arts teaching. New Place, opened in January 2002, houses maths classrooms, three music rooms and seminar rooms.
