Manor Preparatory School “To challenge, cherish and inspire”. Situated in Abingdon, the Manor Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school that welcomes children aged 2-11. The Manor’s most recent ISI Inspection saw the school receive the highest possible rating of ‘Excellent’ in all areas. Inspectors commented that: “Pupils approach every day with an overwhelming passion to learn and develop.” This is in part due to the exceptionally caring and invigorating tone of the school, where laughter is an essential part of the school day. Every child is encouraged to push themselves to new challenges and fulfil their potential, resulting in outstanding results academically, on the sports field, and in the creative and performing arts. www.manorprep.org
Moulsford Boys’ Preparatory School Moulsford is a thriving independent Prep School of 370 boys aged 4 - 13 years, set in picturesque grounds on the banks of the River Thames in South Oxfordshire. We aim for our boys to receive the broadest possible education, while remembering that they will learn best when happy and settled. Our down-to-earth, family-focussed approach embraces the fact that boys of this age should be having fun at the same time as learning. Boys progress, many with scholarship awards, to leading senior independent day and boarding schools. Extra-curricular opportunities include judo, fencing, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, kayaking, clay pigeon shooting, and photography. A brand new state-of-the-art Pre-Prep building opens in September 2022. www.moulsford.com

Our Lady’s Abingdon School What makes Our Lady’s Abingdon different? Research shows that between 7 - 8 years, children develop the attitudes, abilities and relationships that help them succeed in education. For a taste of OLA we invite children in Years 2 - 3 and 5 to try a range of activities, meet our teachers and make new friends at our school. Small class sizes allow children to receive individual attention, and our fun and innovative learning ensures they are fully engaged and achieving excellent academic results. Our outstanding system of pastoral care is at the centre of everything we do. Each child is a unique person, with talents to be nurtured. www.ola.org.uk
Oxford High School GDST Oxford High School GDST is an energetic and diverse day school for girls aged 4 to 18 years, where each student is empowered to be whoever they want to be. Those who find their way here are curious, outward-looking and sparky; they delight in learning and questioning, they care about the world in which we live in, and are fearless in the pursuit of their passions. Our vision is for a pioneering and student-led education, and each pupil is immensely supported to go beyond academics, in self, and pastorally to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in whatever path they forge for themselves. www.oxfordhigh.gdst.net
