I am very proud to be Headteacher of Wallingford School. I am proud of our students who are fantastic young people whose enthusiasm, commitment, talent and humour make it a joy to come to school every day; I am proud of our staff who are so dedicated to inspiring, supporting and guiding our students to fulfil their potential; and I am proud that our school is comprehensive and embedded at the heart of its local community of the town of Wallingford and the surrounding villages. Teaching and learning is very strong at Wallingford and our results over time speak for themselves. We are a high-performing school with teachers and associate staff who are committed to innovation and creativity in the classroom and beyond. However, all members of our school community understand that our school is not just about results but also about the type of young people we help to develop. Our extra-curricular programme is exceptional – broad, deep and varied with something for everyone. Equally, the pastoral support we offer our students and staff is excellent, recognising each young person as an individual and supporting them in their personal development as they progress to becoming young adults. We aspire for our students to leave us being “able and qualified”; they should be sent into the world with examination results which demonstrate their potential but also as responsible, reflective and informed young people ready to take their place in society. This belief is embedded within a tangible ethos which resonates throughout the school and beyond.

Oxford

Who we are Based in a city renowned for its academic excellence, Oxford International College offers A-Level courses, focusing on the ethos of career development along with a strong academic provision taught by highly qualified tutors. In 2019, the college earned the top slot in the UK Independent Schools league tables after its students achieved record A-level results. Established in 2002, Oxford International College was initially set up by academics with a strong interest in education and with the view to provide exceptional one to one tuition, extending the model of Oxford and Cambridge University style of supervisions/ tutorials to school-aged students. The College has built upon this ethos and now delivers both a college and boarding environment and sees outstanding student academic achievement year on year as a result. In 2019, the College earned the top slot in the UK Independent Schools league tables after its students achieved record A-level results. Overall, 92% of grades received by OIC students in 2019 were A*-A, and 53.2% were A*, making us the UK’s No.1 A-Level college and the only school that achieved above 90% A* to A grades. At Oxford International College, we provide our students with an open and stimulating study environment in a city that has been renowned for academic excellence for almost 1,000 years. Our students have the chance to meet and learn from some of the brightest people in the world in an environment that nurtures their personal and academic growth, while also enjoying the cultural life of this beautiful city. Located just a short walk from Oxford city centre, the College attracts students from all over the world and has become a vibrant community of international students and staff. Students are taught by some of the Oxford’s finest tutors, who are all experts in their fields; mostly Oxford University alumni or hold doctorate degrees from Oxford. A strong feature of the College is its focus on a career curriculum, which gives our students a competitive edge when applying to university and in their future careers. We take pride in our unique integration of three key skills to success: Academic Excellence, Career Development and Personal Development. Our young students represent the future of this world, and we very much look forward to welcoming them to Oxford and to supporting them at the start of this journey of a lifetime.
