Gina has been out and about visiting again, this time in Oxford. Wychwood School Oxford Ltd. is an independent co-educational day and boarding school that enjoys a lovely location in leafy North Oxford, just a 15-minute walk into the city centre and with excellent transport links to London and Heathrow airport.

With around 150 pupils, its size makes it extremely nurturing and inclusive in ethos, and the exceptionally small classes mean ample attention is given to each individual child. Every single one is imbued with confidence to “give it a go”, participate and be the best they can be, backed up by good Learning Support. An innovative A Level in AI is offered alongside a huge variety of other A Level subjects in Sixth Form.

The academic side is complemented by a lovely light and bright Art department, which also offers Photography and Textiles, a great Performing Arts space and a Football Academy.

If you’d like to know more about this or any of the other British boarding schools Gina gets to know so well on your behalf, please get in touch.
