The Bicester Herald has reports of childrens activities at Bicester Parish Church, i.e. Sunday School, Bible Class.
Edith Baker is in a few of these.
12 January 1912
Prizes for attendance and good conduct at the Sunday School gained by various boys, girls, infants
including Girls VII - Edith Baker, Mabel Smith, Nellie Pinchin

A report, 1 August 1913, on the funeral of Mrs. Mary Ann Baker, widow of Henry Baker. Age 89.
The mourners included Mrs. Edward Baker (daughter in law) and Mrs. J. Smith (granddaughter)
Flowers sent by children (and possibly others), including "Edie". Who may or may not be Edith Baker? :-\

Yes I had these Sunday school attendance and thought it could be her. 
I also have the newspaper clipping of the funeral of Mary Ann Baker, but admit I had not seen 'Edie'  but this is possibly her.

If the 1911 Edith emigrating is her the other 1912 Sunday school Edith must be someone else.
Although she's not on the BHC website it may be she's gone via an assisted passage under the
umbrella of Barnardo's with them acting as chaperone.
Older minors who were unemployed &/or transient were encouraged to emigrate.

   So no longer looking for a British Home Child (Good finds, though jim1) as she's reported found in 1912 by jonw65 & she's the only young Edith Baker on census for Oxfordshire
  (& perhaps iisted at her great grandmother's funeral but there are other older Edith Bakers living in Bicester)
  There's this emigration 1914 if someone has FindMyPast
