The Cherwell School

The Cherwell School is a unique and remarkable school. We have a commitment to excellence in all that we do. As a school community we take responsibility to reduce barriers and offer a 'no limits' culture and ethos.

We believe in the importance of seeing each child as an individual within our wider community. We are a non-uniform school. Our young people are encouraged and supported to be themselves.

We offer a rich ambitious curriculum that genuinely opens up the world to our young people. In addition our personal development programme and wider curricular offer helps to create rounded young people who mix skillfully with staff and with each other. All of this is done in a highly inclusive environment that champions diversity. We have a commitment to support children with Special Educational Needs.

Cherwell places innovation in teaching and learning at the heart of its improvement. Our in-house CPD programme allows colleagues to develop the skills most pertinent to their development. We are committed to our staff and work in conjunction with the Oxfordshire Teaching School Hub, OTT SCITT and OTSA so offer the very best in professional learning for colleagues at every level.
