Cheney School is a UK Secondary School located in Headington , Oxford , England . CURRENT Cheney is currently one of the largest state schools in Oxford, serving the Headington and East Oxford area. It was the major destination for students coming from Headington Middle School and Isis Middle School , although some students from other middle schools did enroll. It has recently become one of the higher achieving state schools in Oxford, along with The Cherwell School . The current headmaster is Mrs Kirby, who was selected following lengthy interviews in 2006. The previous headmaster was Mr Alan Lane, who retired at Christmas (2006) after 25 years service to the school. HISTORY The original foundation was around 1797 .
