At Oxford Millwood School, our curriculum is designed to nurture confident, curious and capable learners from Nursery through to Year 11.

Built on a thoughtful blend of proven educational approaches and enriched by modern best practice, we offer a broad, balanced and creative learning journey that supports every child to thrive.

Early Years (Nursery)

Children learn through a carefully planned and engaging early years environment, supported by the EYFS Framework. Learning is hands-on, child-centred, and tailored to each child’s interests and stage of development. Regular observation, early assessment, and targeted SEND/EAL support help build strong foundations for confidence, independence, communication, and a lifelong love of learning.

Primary (Reception – Year 6)

Our primary curriculum blends the National Curriculum with a child-centred approach offering rich project-based learning without the pressures of SATs. Children enjoy specialist teaching in Music, Drama, PE, Spanish, Computing and Forest School, supported by flexible grouping and a nurturing focus on the whole child.

Senior School (Years 7 – 11)

Our senior curriculum is values-driven and academically ambitious.

Key Stage 3 offers a broad range of subjects: English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Spanish, PSHE, Computing, Creative Arts and Sport, plus an enrichment carousel.

Key Stage 4 offers GCSEs, Functional Skills, ASDAN, Art Awards, Food & Cookery, Spanish, History and the Duke of Edinburgh Award, alongside personalised support and varied assessments.
