Northfield School is a Special School for boys, aged between 11 – 18, with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs. The school is situated in Oxford and accepts students from across the whole county, with approximately 60 students on roll.
Our students have a wide range of additional needs including Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Speech and Language Difficulties and Specific and Moderate Learning Difficulties.
Northfield School facilitates the social and emotional needs and academic development of students through a personalised approach that ensures all students are supported, valued and challenged. We offer a tailored curriculum which is delivered by a specialised, dedicated and experienced staff team. This approach enables students at Northfield School to develop academically, socially, emotionally and behaviourally.
Northfield School's ethos is a child centred approach, designed to provide every student with the structure, security and success required to build confidence and self-esteem in preparation for adult life. Northfield School promotes excellence in all things to inspire and challenge our students so that they leave proud of their achievements.
In short, our children and young people are respected, supported and encouraged.
Pupils are taught in small groups, currently there are typically seven pupils in a group with each class benefitting from a teacher and a teaching assistant. As a result, the relationships between adults and our pupils tend to be very strong and trusting, which enables pupils to feel valued and to develop self-worth. The curriculum is broad and well-balanced, with all pupils receiving tuition on all National curriculum subjects at both key stages, including a range of options for pupils in KS4. In addition to the in-school offer, a small number of pupils benefit from our close links with a local college. We are currently recruiting for new leadership posts in English and maths to further strengthen our curriculum offer in all years, and to raise attainment at KS4.
