[edit] History
Bartholomew School was founded in the 18th Century by John Bartholomew when a subscription of £87 was given to him to finance the "Bartholomew room". The school remained there until 1847 where it was moved to its present site on Witney Road [4] In 1958 the school was expanded, and by 1968 it became a comprehensive secondary school for 11 to 18 year olds.[5] In 2003, the school became a specialist technology college where design and technology is made compulsory for GCSE.[6] By autumn 2007, there will be a newly equipped sports centre in place of the old one which was knocked down in 2006.[7]
[edit] Housing System
Bartholomew School has a house system, however this is primarily used only for sport.[8]
