Tudor Hall School is an independent day and boarding school for girls in Oxfordshire, situated between Bloxham and Banbury. It was founded by an Anglican priest and his wife, and moved to several different places before the purchase of its current premises after the Second World War.

History

Tudor Hall was founded in 1850 by the Rev. T.W. Todd and his wife (Mrs. Todd) in Salisbury, then moved to the London area around 1865.

By the 1900s, the school had expanded and was in need of more space. In 1908, it moved to Chislehurst in Kent. The school went through difficult times and had to be closed down for a term in 1935. Former pupil Nesta Inglis, elder daughter of banker and Marylebone Cricket Club amateur cricketer Alfred Inglis, took over as headmistress and re-opened the school.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, the school was moved to Burnt Norton, near Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, to escape the air raids. However, the school outgrew the property during the war. Miss Inglis came across some land outside Banbury, Oxfordshire, and the purchase was made in February 1944. The school then made its final move in January 1946 to its current location.[1]

Boarding

Tudor Hall offers a full boarding programme. Over two thirds of pupils are boarders. New boarders are usually assigned an older girl to assist them with adjustment into boarding life. There are full-time residential staff who live on-campus.[2]

Houses

Upon entry each girl is assigned to a house, each of which is named after one of the Royal Houses that ruled over England.

  • Tudor
  • Stuart
  • Lancaster
  • York[3]

  • Todd/Ones - Year 7
  • Twos - Year 8
  • Threes - Year 9
  • Fours - Year 10
  • Fives - Year 11
