About Oxford Modern Primary School
Oxford Modern Primary School is located in Biguli Kamwenge in the Western Region of Uganda about 240 kilometers from the Uganda’s Capital Kampala. It was founded in 2005 by Mr. Natuhamya Aggrey an educationist in Uganda’s education for long working with parents out of the concern for children especially children from families with a poor background.
