[edit] History
Bartholomew School was founded in the 18th Century by John Bartholomew when a subscription of £87 was given to him to finance the "Bartholomew room".[4][5] The school remained there until 1847 where it was moved to its present site on Witney Road. In 1958 the school was expanded, and by 1968 it became a comprehensive secondary school for 11 to 18 year olds.[6] In 2003, the school became a Technology College where Design and Technology is made compulsory for GCSE. At the start of the 2007 - 2008 school year, the recently refurbished sports hall was opened for use and is in partnership with Windrush Leisure Limited.[7]
