About

About Oswestry

The story, ethos and character of Oswestry.

Setting: Town
Ethos: Non-denominational
Head: Mr Peter Middleton

Founded in 1407, Oswestry is one of England's oldest schools and stands on the edge of a safe, typically English old-fashioned market town surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain. It is within this environment that pupils follow the School's motto: 'We learn not for school but for life'.

Historical it may be, with many traditional virtues encouraged, but Oswestry is also a warm, caring and progressive school which constantly evolves with the times. All pupils, supported and encouraged by an excellent team of staff, are expected to make the most of their abilities.

The size of the School helps us achieve our ethos and our pupils are bright, energetic, confident and, above all, happy.

Extensive playing fields, gymnasium, netball/tennis courts and a heated indoor swimming pool are some of the sporting environments at Oswestry. The School enjoys a proud tradition of music and drama, and art and design continue to be strong departments within the School, with several exhibitions held each year.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and the Combined Cadet Force offer opportunities to develop leadership skills, self-reliance and responsibility. Oswestry is ninety minutes by car from Manchester and Birmingham Airports and forty five minutes from Liverpool.
