Cokethorpe School
Cokethorpe School

Cokethorpe School is an independent day school in Hardwick, West Oxfordshire, about 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Witney. It was founded in 1957 by Francis Brown. It is a member of HMC, IAPS, and The Society of Heads (formerly known as SHMIS). The school has approximately 660 students ranging in age from 4 to 18. The Prep School and the Senior School are on the same site. At the heart of the school is an early 18th-century Grade II* listed Queen Anne style country house. The school is set in 150 acres (1 km2) of parkland, and there is also a chapel in the grounds. The tower of the chapel was virtually destroyed in a fire in 1994, but it has since been demolished and rebuilt. The grounds have a number of rugby/football pitches along with the recently built astro pitches. An expertly carved 'giant' peacock stands at the central crossroads within the school grounds, a symbol of the school. The school has an outstanding recent sporting tradition with students playing national age group rugby (England under-16 and under-18) and also England women's hockey. The school also has numerous representatives in both regional and Oxfordshire rugby, football, cricket, hockey, athletics, and tennis. The school has also developed a reputation as a premier kayaking and sailing school, as well as for nurturing equestrian talents. The school operates a house system, with houses called Harcourt, Gascoigne, Swift, Queen Anne, Vanbrugh, Lower House (Year 7) and Feilden. The houses compete in sports such as house rugby and football for boys; hockey and netball for girls; and in field and track events at the annual school sports day. There are also competitions in the arts, such as house music, drama, photography and art. On-site is a theatre called The Shed, where drama productions, concerts and lectures are held. These can range from musicals to dance, even hip hop competitions.
