Oswestry School
SHROPSHIRE
Our pupils follow the School’s motto: ‘We
learn not for school but for life’.
‘A small, traditional British school… with
a personal approach. Family values and a
close-knit community breeds confidence
and stability for all the pupils… a home
away from home.’ The Good Schools
Guide
Founded in 1407, Oswestry is one of
England’s oldest schools and stands on
the edge of a safe, typically English old-
fashioned market town surrounded by
some of the most beautiful countryside
in Britain. We are extremely proud of the
excellent academic results; A-levels over
recent years have had a 97-100% pass rate
and around 90% of GCSE grades were A-C
Scholarships of up to 50% are available
for general academic excellence and
conspicuous talent in music, art or sport.
There are three comfortable boarding
houses on the School site, where boarders
are cared for by attentive and dedicated
house staff. Each boarding house has a
resident Houseparent and every pupil
benefits from a high level of pastoral care.
The spacious, modern dining hall provides
three hot meals a day; food is served
as a buffet selection and includes fresh
vegetables, fruit and desserts and there
is plenty of choice, to ensure all diets are
catered for.
International students should apply
no later than December for entry the
following September. A combination of
the School’s size and a high teacher-per-
student ratio allows us to give personalised
and consistent care and attention, and to
monitor and motivate pupils as they make
academic and personal progress.
The Sixth Form is regarded as an essential
preparation and transition between
school and university. Sixth Form lessons
are delivered in small groups allowing
