A grammar school for east Oxfordshire, Holton Park Girls' Grammar School, was founded on the site in 1949.

These two divisions consolidated in the early 1980s on the present site at Holton Park, although the school retained the name Wheatley Park School. The main complex of modern school buildings is located in the former parkland of a Regency house built about 1807.
