Oxford and Cherwell Valley College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxford & Cherwell Valley College is a multi-campus college in Oxfordshire, England. It was created in 2003 as "Oxford & Cherwell College" - a result of the merger between Oxford College of Further Education, North Oxfordshire College and Ryecotewood College.
