Who are we?

We are part of the OneSchool Global network – one of the most extensive and progressive networks of schools and educational support services in the world. With schools in 20 countries worldwide, our 9000 students are benefiting from the amazing results of global collaboration and cutting-edge educational methods. 

Focus Learning Trust was established as a registered charity in 2003 for the advancement of education, primarily providing leadership and support to its network of 23 UK, non-selective, independent schools which are registered as schools with a religious character, following the national curriculum.

In April 2019, the entire OneSchool entity rebranded globally, hence our new look and our name change from Focus School to OneSchool Global UK. This better reflects our teaching and learning strategy and makes us truly one global school. 

With over 20 years of experience in delivering innovative and challenging education to students of all abilities, we are committed to achieving the highest levels of teaching from our staff and academic potential from our students.

OneSchool is a dynamic, global high-achieving education provider which challenges learning norms and fosters a positive learning culture.

We develop critical thinkers who engage, not only in a variety of on-request learning experiences to facilitate collaborative problem solving but also leadership skills to see and lead with integrity through tomorrow’s challenges.

A shared language of learning underpins a culture in which learning is personalised and progress is measured and celebrated.

As an employer of choice, we continuously develop staff through the OneSchool Teacher Academy, which enables career pathways through global professional collaboration.
