Schools in Bicester

At the intersection of Akeman Street and an ancient Roman north-south road, Bicester has served as a crossroads town for well over two millennia. Lying in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, the town holds a conservation-area centre of independent shops alongside the Bicester Village designer outlet, while accommodating a population of around 37,000.

Chesterton draws families competing for primary places. Steeple Aston to the north is among the most sought-after villages for school catchments, with Langford Village and Fritwell marking the school-competitive reaches of the wider area. Chiltern Railways services reach Oxford in under fifteen minutes from Bicester North.
