Middle School - taking responsibility

    The Middle School prepares and encourages pupils to aim for high academic achievements. In these critical years they are grouped by ability in some subjects, enabling them to progress at the most appropriate pace. Daily prep is set and closely monitored by form tutors and subject teachers.

    Intellectual curiosity and good study habits are cultivated. Pupils also learn about themselves and their relations with others, and about the areas in which they can make a contribution in later life.

    Class sizes are small and the teacher:pupil ratio is generous, permitting every individual to find the opportunity to excel. A broad curriculum of compulsory subjects is followed, including English, Mathematics and French, supplemented by Science subjects, History, Geography, Art, Music and German. Technical subjects (including Information and Communication Technology and Design Technology), Religious Education and Physical Education are also available, plus a Personal, Social and Health Education programme.

    Above all, pupils at Oswestry School will discover how to take responsibility for themselves and others in the knowledge that they have been set the right standards and goals.
