This site is currently a private initiative undertaken by a former pupil of The City of Oxford High School for Boys, which was situated in George Street, Oxford until its closure in 1966. It presents material collected over the years by the City of Oxford School Association and members, with their permission. Desk and laptop friendly, it will also adapt automatically for mobile and tablet use: a whole school history in your pocket!
About
COSA was originally formed in 2005 by and for former members of the City of Oxford High School. The objective is that over the next few months as many of these pages as possible will be populated by retrieved data from the COSA website which fell into disuse around 2017. Some rationalisation may be needed but they should all be up and running in time for the 60th anniversary of the closing of the school in the summer of 1966.
As the years go by, Old Boys of the school are diminishing in number of course, so it is probable that the site will be simply a record of the social history of their school rather than an active resource. Comments remain welcome however.
