About Oswestry School
Oswestry School is an independent, co-educational day & boarding school, with a 11-18 senior school of c.400 pupils (120 of whom board) and a 4-11 Prep School of c.120 pupils. The strong ethos of the school is reflected in its fabulous pastoral care and sense of community. The School is a member of HMC and has been judged ‘excellent’ in recent inspections. The School is growing in size and standing. As well as providing a fantastic learning and living environment for young people, Oswestry School offers an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding working environment.
Oswestry School is located at the heart of its market town on the Welsh borders, with easy access to the great outdoors as well as good links to the local town of Shrewsbury and the cities of Chester, Manchester and Birmingham.
Located in the ancient town of Oswestry in the county of Shropshire, the School was founded in 1407 and, as such, lays claim to being one of the oldest truly independent schools in the country. It is located in a beautiful corner of Shropshire close to the Welsh border and enjoys a campus setting and extensive playing fields. Just 30 minutes from the market town of
Shrewsbury and an hour from the major cities of Liverpool and Manchester, the School is well located and draws pupils from all over the county and beyond through its extensive bus routes. A dynamic boarding community with pupils coming from over 30 countries provides a vibrancy and exciting diversity to the School; internationalism and diversity is celebrated and championed.
As a relatively small independent school, Oswestry School is able to offer smaller class sizes as well as a close professional relationship between staff and students. A recent ISI report described pupils as “energetic, articulate and responsible throughout the school.” Deliberately non-selective, the School strives to nurture and develop the talents and abilities of each and every pupil both inside and outside the classroom. Recent facility development includes a floodlit astroturf, the Momentum Sports hall, a refectory and a new library.

Values and vision
As a relatively small independent school, Oswestry School is able to offer smaller class sizes as well as a close academic relationship between staff and students. The school adopts a traditional approach to pastoral care, uniform and behaviour. Staff have high expectations of the ability of pupils to police their own behaviour and approach their education in a mature and adult way. The school invests heavily in extra-curricular activities, with the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme just one of the major activities on offer.
ISI report
“Pupils are energetic, articulate and responsible throughout the school. Relationships amongst pupils and between pupils and staff are excellent. This enhances the pupils’ personal development. In the senior school, where a third of pupils come from a wide range of countries, tolerance and mutual respect are firmly established, and this has a profound influence on the school as a whole.”
