Welcome to the European School Culham

The European School Culham is located in the countryside about 10 Km to the south of the famous University town of Oxford. The school enjoys the benefits of spacious landscaped grounds. Its listed buildings date back to the 1850s when it was a leading teacher training college. Its sporting facilities include a gymnasium, a modern Sports Hall, a large sports field and tennis courts.

The European School Culham opened in 1975 to educate the children of scientists working on the nearby Joint European Torus project. It is now able to welcome pupils from the wide local international community. It has five language sections : German, English, French, Italian and Dutch offering mother-tongue tuition. In addition Danish is offered to Danish pupils, who are integrated into the English section.

Its pupils live in a wide area, with bus services from Oxford (north, east and west), Abingdon and as far as Reading. Its nearest station, Didcot, offers a fast service to London (Paddington).
The school has recently invested heavily in ICT, with several ICT rooms, video-conferencing, and computer facilities in all classrooms as well as additional computers in the Library.
