On to university
Four things have stayed the same since the school opened its doors on the hill in 1894.
Small classes and a broad curriculum, taught by people who keep reading long after the lesson ends.
Questions are welcome here. Pupils are taught to follow an idea, test it, and change their mind when the evidence asks them to.
Sport, service, and the daily habits of a community where every pupil is known by name.
A house system, a hundred clubs, and old friendships that outlast the school years by decades.
Academics
From the first reading lesson to a university interview, pupils move through the college at a pace that suits them, with teachers who know their work and their names.
Theatre, the boathouse, the chapel, and a service week that takes pupils well past the school gates.
“They knew our daughter as a whole person, not a set of marks. She left Oakmere braver than she arrived.”
We welcome applications for September entry across every year group. Visit the college, meet the staff, and see the place for yourself.
