BURFORD BOARDING REVIEW
To any prospective pupils or parents considering Burford Boarding House, If there was ever a time to listen to a stranger online, now would be it. I have nothing to gain from writing this other than potentially saving good people from making a decision that they may later regret. I attended Burford Boarding House and experienced things that have left me deeply concerned about the standard of care, safeguarding and management within the house. While Ofsted may describe the boarding house as a...

Do not go here if you are academically challenged!!!
Terrible school do not go here. I came to this school in year seven when it was much better. In year 8 I was struggling massively at school with learning, I was never good at maths and got repeatedly dumped in classrooms full of students who just did not want to learn and teachers who couldn’t control the class or teach effectively. In year 9 I had a dyslexia screening which diagnosed me with severe dyslexia, they then did not help me. My parents sent masses of emails which all got ignored. This...

Unethical school
Worst school you can send your children to, don’t help with chams and sends needs never put things in place for students that struggle more than others. Mr Bassett is about the only teacher that is decent and miss skirtern should not be in the school system, she does not know how to deal with students properly and gives them hard time and bad mouths everyone behind there backs. All in all worst school in Oxfordshire.

Pretty good
I enjoyed it there. My teachers were mostly nice and supportive. my form tutor was honestly the nicest person on earth and made me and my entire form feel so safe. The only complaint is the lack of mental health support, despite my entire year group complaining from year 7 til year 11.

I went to them for help and they told my parents and now I'm in trouble. Teachers don't help me and the work is too easy

Worst School in Oxfordshire
This school is awful. I'd write an entire explanation for you as to why you should NOT send your children here, however, i feel this is reason enough. I'd reccomend a school in witney such as Woodgreen or the cotswold school instead, as Burford has been too shocking for words. Ask anyone who has gone there.
