Banbury
On behalf of our students, staff and governors, I am delighted to welcome you to
North Oxfordshire Academy. We are a successful, oversubscribed 11-18 academy
located in Banbury, Oxfordshire. North Oxfordshire Academy is an inclusive,
friendly and diverse community with an ethos of high aspirations, high
expectations and high achievement. We are proud to be part of United Learning, a
group of secondary, primary and independent schools, whose motto is: ‘The best
in everyone’ - a philosophy to which we wholeheartedly subscribe. Through a
culture of nurture, support and mutual respect, we seek to challenge our
students by encouraging them to take risks; to explore new ideas and to
acknowledge that making mistakes is essential for learning. We focus on helping
our students to become resilient learners and to develop the character and
skills that prepare them for the future. During their time at North Oxfordshire
Academy, our students learn to become confident, articulate, independent and
resourceful young people; they develop the skills and qualities to enjoy
successful and rewarding personal and working lives in an everchanging local,
national and global landscape. Our students experience a broad and balanced
curriculum focusing on academic excellence and education with character. In
addition, they participate in an exciting range of extracurricular and sporting
activities which enables them to explore and develop their talents and wider
interests. We expect our students to work hard; to be kind and respectful to
others and to strive to be the best version of themselves. Whether you are a
potential student, parent or future employee, we hope our website provides you
