The Oratory has been providing students with a broad and rich education for over 165 years. Situated on a stunning 100-acre Oxfordshire countryside estate, we combine strong academic results with a supportive family ethos. We are genuinely an all-round school and we believe in nurturing students to achieve their very best in whatever it is they set out to do.

‘I am known: I am more’ highlights The Oratory’s holistic, all-round approach to education. An Oratory education focuses on the whole student, seeing them as they are, ‘wonderfully made’, and seeks to draw out and develop each student's innate gifts, skills and talents, which we believe each of them has in abundance, be they academic, sporting, artistic, dramatic or inter-personal.

The Oratory deliberately remains a small school, with small class sizes, outstanding pastoral care, and a wonderful sense of community. It is this supportive environment that allows us to focus and develop each of our students and which nurtures the confidence, self-expression and resilience that is vital for success and happiness in the world today.
