It is most closely associated with protestantism
Key figures in the oxford movement

John Keble

He provided the first push to begin the movement altogether
what was the oxford movement?
lasted 1833-1841
The ideas were published in the 90 tracts for the times. 24 of these were written by John Henry Newman
People who supported the ideas and tracts were Tractarians who asserted the doctrinal authority of the catholic church to be absolute
The Oxford Movement aimed to restore traditional Catholic theology and liturgy to the Church of England to defend it against growing state control and secularisation.
King Edward the Martyr
First of all he was born in 962 and he was the only child of King Edgar. Edward became king in 975 during a power struggle
he was assassinated whilst trying to visit his half brother at Corfe castle in march 978. many believe this was ordered by his step-mother
He was a hugely religious man and the school St Edwards Oxford was named after him as the school was extremely religious and they wanted to name it in honour of him
After he became kind he was only 13 and many people questioned his authority
his weakness as a king was seen as an opportunity for bad for many.
Schools such as St edwards were being founded in the 19th century for many reasons
These public schools were to educate the middle classes
The industrial revolution meant growing wealth to spend on education
how does St edwards then compare to today?
In the 19th century it was attended by 8-12 year old boys. These children were very religious, well behaved and boarded at the school. Whereas today it is boys and girls from 13-18 some well behaved some not and not all boarding either or religious.
School then was to teach children religion and basic education to a high standard. Today it is to allow great minds to follow their passions.
School then was 25 pounds a year whereas today it is up to 16 thousand a term
Linking both topics the school was founded in 1863 by Reverend Thomas Chamberlain, a passionate follower of the Oxford Movement.
