Scope and Content

The School of Technology, Art and Commerce was located in Castle Street on the same site as had been occupied by Oxford City Technical School later Municipal Secondary School (please see S200/4 for records of this school). It was formed in 1934 from a merger of part of the Technical School and The School of Art. Before the merger, when John Henry Brookes became Vice-Principal in 1928 the school was scattered over 19 sites in Oxford. In 1956 it moved to a site in Headington and was renamed the Oxford College of Technology (please see S126/8 for records of this school).. The school was the foundation of Oxford Polytechnic, now Oxford Brookes.
