Academic Overview
For Oswestrians, learning goes far beyond the classroom. We aim to inspire every pupil to develop a deep love of learning and a bold ambition to achieve not just in examinations, but in life. Our academic approach nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence, helping pupils grow into independent, well-rounded individuals that are prepared not just for school but for life. Through vibrant academic enrichment, eye opening trips, national competitions, and visits from leading thinkers, we spark intellectual excitement and encourage every pupil to explore their passions. It's not just about getting great results, it's about preparing pupils to thrive, lead, and make a difference in the world.
Teaching and learning
Our dedicated teachers are skilled practitioners who are passionate about their subjects and ensure all our pupils are given every opportunity to flourish in every lesson. High expectations permeate the school as we encourage and support our pupils to develop a love of learning and an appreciation of the importance of effort, and foster a growth mindset.
All lessons are carefully planned and are underpinned by the Oswestry School Teaching and Learning Model. Our model for outstanding classroom practice puts our whole school Value and Virtues at its core and identifies four key strands that are pertinent to our school and support our aim to provide a consistently excellent education for our pupils.
