Oxford Montessori School in Elsfield, Oxford, has officially changed its name to Oxford Millwood School, marking an important milestone in its 25-year history.
Part of Blenheim Schools, OMS continues to provide a nurturing, ambitious and highly personalised education for pupils aged 4–16, with small class sizes and strong SEND support.
The new website is now live at Oxford Millwood School.
A new name reflecting a rural Oxfordshire setting
The change to Oxford Millwood School reflects both the school’s woodland setting and the local heritage of the surrounding Oxfordshire area, including historic mill sites.
Set within a 10-acre rural campus, the school has developed over more than two decades into a small, nature-connected independent school with strong academic ambition and inclusive values.
While the name has changed, the school’s ethos, staff and approach to education remain unchanged.
