We are delighted to be able to share with our school community an excellent outcome in the recent ISI inspection, the result of which has been published in the ISI Inspection Report for Oswestry School 2024.
We are proud that all standards were deemed to be fully met in the inspection and the report strongly endorses the quality of teaching and learning, pastoral care and wide-ranging co-curricular programme.
This is a tribute to the hard work of all the staff, pupils, governors, and of course parents, in supporting the school's vision to provide the very best all-round education and develop young people of character who will make a difference in the world around them.
Inspection findings included:
‘Pupils’ learning is further enhanced by extensive co-curricular activities, outdoor education and enrichment sessions. The new Futures programme is well established to support pupils to make informed choices for their next steps and careers, in keeping with the school motto, ‘we learn not for school but for life’.’
‘Prep school pupils benefit from varied and innovative teaching and work well, focussing on their learning tasks. Senior pupils apply themselves well and appreciate the support they receive to extend their knowledge.’
‘A well organised and supportive boarding community means that boarders settle in well and integrate into school life. Day pupils and boarders live and learn together harmoniously.’
‘A positive culture of acceptance and mutual respect prevails because this is an expectation set by leaders and staff. The school is an inclusive community.’
Headmaster Mr Middleton commented:
"We are delighted to have received such a positive report from the recent ISI inspection, one that provides a glowing endorsement of all the many ways in which Oswestry School supports our pupils and provides outstanding education in all areas. The report is testimony to the continued hard work, creativity and passion of staff at the school, and I am pleased that the uniquely supportive, nurturing and challenging environment of Oswestry is so clearly portrayed and celebrated."
