Wood Green School is a secondary school located in Oxfordshire, England which serves the traditional blanket making and historic town of Witney and its surrounding villages. It was established in 1953 as Witney's secondary modern school before becoming a comprehensive school in 1968. The Witney Grammar School became the Henry Box School, signifying its change of status to comprehensive school, one year later. In the School's most recent inspection (October 2013), it was judged by Ofsted to be inadequate.

Academics

Catering for ages 11–18, the school hosts approximately 1050 students, including the VI form (16-18). The school recently completed the building of a new VI form, Dining Canteen and drama studio. The school is a specialist visual and performing Arts College. The school now has Microsoft partnership status. The school reached the national finals of the mock trial competition in 2003 and 2006, came second in 2004 and won it in 2005.

GCSE Results 2013: 67% of pupils achieved 5 or more A*-C grades; 52% of candidates achieved 5 or more A*-C grades including English and Mathematics

Sixth form

In early 2006, they completed the build of their new Sixth Form centre and restaurant, in what is now a modern building, with the VI centre located upstairs. The school has finished the process of developing a new textiles room as well as a music recording studio and a new changing room for physical education. They are working on having interactive white-boards or projectors in every classroom.

In 2010, after the introduction of the new A* grade available at A level, 12 sixth form students achieved 3 or more A*/A grades.
