New College School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New College School is an independent preparatory school for boys in Oxford. It was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham to provide for the education of 16 choristers for the chapel of New College, Oxford.

It is the oldest of Oxford's three choral foundations, ahead of Magdalen College School (1480) and Christ Church Cathedral School (1546).

The school was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in May 2004.^[1]
