About

Boddington School is a small Church of England primary school set in the village of Upper Boddington. Boddington is a civil parish in South Northamptonshire close to the borders of Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. The parish includes the villages of Lower and Upper Boddington.

The school was built in 1870 on church land on the instruction of a Reverend Edward Sale following the passing of the first Education Act. The school building cost 718 (which would equate to approximately 58,000 today).

At that time there was no school in the parish and Reverend Sale gathered contributions from many people, including the Althorp Estate, as well as paying 260 himself toward the cost. There have, of course, been many changes since 1870 but the original school building remains in use accommodating classes for Years Two to Six.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
