Editing Cirencester (section)

==Education==
The town and the surrounding area have several [[Primary education#England|primary schools]] and two [[Secondary education#England, Wales and Northern Ireland|secondary schools]], [[Cirencester Deer Park School]] on Stroud Road and [[Cirencester Kingshill School]] on Kingshill Lane. It also has an independent school, [[Rendcomb College]], catering for 3 to 18-year-olds. The town used to have a 500-year-old [[Cirencester Grammar School|grammar school]], which in 1966 joined with the [[secondary modern]] to form [[Cirencester Deer Park School]]. In 1991, [[Cirencester College]] was created, taking over the joint sixth form of Cirencester Deer Park and Cirencester Kingshill schools and the Cirencester site of [[South Gloucestershire and Stroud College|Stroud College]]; it is adjacent to Deer Park School on Stroud Road.

Until 1994, the town had a private preparatory school, Oakley Hall. Run in its later years by the Letts family, it closed in 1994 shortly after the retirement of R. F. B. Letts who had led the school since 1962. The grounds of the school are now occupied by housing.

The [[Royal Agricultural University]] campus is between the Stroud and Tetbury Roads.
