Oxford
CHERWELL COLLEGE OXFORD is located in the heart of Oxford. The College is a
leading independent, co-educational, boarding and day school for students aged
between 12 and 18 years of age. Cherwell is one of the few colleges focused on
bespoke education. Cherwell is one of the few remaining pre-university colleges
in Oxford which continue to preserve the very best the British education system
has to offer – the tutorial. In an age of continuing uncertainty, young people
must be encouraged to ‘think on their feet’ and adapt quickly to the
ever-changing political, economic and social situations in the world, which have
a direct impact on their lives and academic and career aspirations. Cherwell’s
adaptability and bespoke approach to education, delivered via a quintessentially
Oxbridge tutorial method of teaching (one-to-one tuition & small group
seminars), assists the College in nurturing and developing the individual
student’s potential to the full. The format of tuition is discussed at an
interview stage and determined by the subject syllabus and the specific needs of
the student. This combination of small group and individual tuition ensures
comprehensive syllabus coverage, enhanced by student feedback and classroom
discussion, while enabling each student to fully understand each topic, and to
apply this understanding effectively under examination conditions. Regular
progress tests and mock examinations feature in the timetable, particularly
important to those students where examination results do not always reflect
their true academic potential. Monthly reports, written by each subject tutor,
allow parents to closely monitor academic and pastoral progress.
