History of the schools: Wood Farm Junior Mixed
The Wood Farm housing estate was built in 1953, and in 1954 Wood Farm Junior Mixed School opened in Titup Hall Drive.
The infants were originally in what is now the Joan Lawrence Building, and the juniors in the Mary Bews building. When in 1975 Oxford adopted a three-tier system of comprehensive education, the infant school became Shotover Way First School, and the juniors Forresters First School.
in 1980 the two first schools amalgamated to become Wood Farm First School for children aged 5 to 9.
In 1983 the Slade Nursery transferred from the Slade to the Joan Lawrence building,
In 1991 Wood Farm Community Centre was created by extending the office accommodation in the Mary Bews building.
In September 2003 Oxford reverted to a two-tier system of education, and the school became Wood Farm Primary School, again taking children from 5 to 11.
