Oxfordshire County Council does not hold this information.  This
information is held by the individual schools themselves.  Schools are
public authorities in their own right, under the Freedom of Information
Act and I would therefore suggest that you contact them directly, to
request this information. I have provided a link to our website where you
can find the contact details of the schools within our area.
