Icknield Community College at Watlington will find out today whether it can establish a sixth-form.

Oxfordshire County Council’s cabinet member for education, Melinda Tilley, will decide whether to allow the college to alter its upper age limit from 16 to 19.

If she gives permission, the school hopes to take sixth-formers from September next year.
