Oswestry School provides a well-structured careers and higher education guidance programme, in which each student receives individual advice and counselling to ensure that they are aware of the opportunities available to suit their talents. There are university-style seminar discussion groups with visiting academics, which help provide our Sixth Formers with a greater understanding of the transition to higher education. We also coach ‘life skills’ such as interview preparation, management training, leadership challenge, public speaking and personal profiling.
