Onslow St Audrey's School

At Onslow St Audrey’s School we nurture the qualities and talents of each individual. Our students are at the heart of our community; we want them to aim high, build strong relationships, achieve well and leave us with exciting choices over the next stage of their education.

Onslow St Audrey’s is inextricably linked with the concepts of opportunity, success and ambition. We nurture our students’ ambition, provide opportunities to support and challenge their learning, enabling them to be successful in their endeavours. Our school is a truly inclusive community underpinned by the motto ‘Achieving success together’.

Our students’ positive experiences of teaching and learning are enriched by opportunities
afforded through character education, extra-curricular provision and student leadership programmes. We have developed a knowledge-rich curriculum which, combined with significant investment in state of the art facilities, aspires to create a trans-formative learning experience for our young people.

Each student at Onslow St Audrey’s is known by their teachers and classmates; this sense of community spirit makes a real difference to the students’ life chances and is often commented on by visitors to the school.
