From the Oxford Times:

Bartholomew School in Eynsham (head: Andy Hamilton), already an academy, is looking to join up with six primary schools in the area: Stanton Harcourt CE (VC - head: Karen Jupp) , Eynsham Community Primary, St Peter’s Church of England Primary School (VA), Hanborough Manor Primary (VC), Standlake Church of England Primary School (VC) and Freeland Church of England Primary School (VC).

If it goes ahead it could be the first MAT to include Voluntary Aided (VA - where the Oxford Diocese board of education contributes to building costs) schools, among community schools, in the country.
