Dashwood School Archive

Exploring the archives of Dashwood School Banbury, 1902 - 2008

The Dashwood School Online Archive came about because of the interest created by the book Dashwood School 1902-2008: a souvenir history. The book celebrates Dashwood School’s 106 years on its original Marlborough Road site in Banbury, Oxfordshire before its move to Merton Street in 2008.

Former Dashwood pupils very kindly loaned pictures and documents for the book, and sent in memories and reminiscences. This blog is a way of showing anything new in the school archive and also delving more deeply into the material we already have.

The book is now sold out, but if you’d like to get in touch, please contact me, Rebecca Mileham, at r.mileham@gmail.com. Do let me know if you have suggestions, comments or corrections on this site, or on the contents of the book.

I didn’t go to Dashwood myself (I grew up in Leamington) but my children went to the school and I live in Banbury, near Dashwood’s historic building. I am a professional writer and museum consultant, and loved working with this amazing archive that means so much to former pupils and staff.
