Where ambition is nurtured, and every child can flourish
At Oxford Millwood School, we provide a nurturing, ambitious education where every child is supported to grow academically, socially and emotionally. Set within a beautiful rural campus near Oxford, we combine outdoor learning, small class sizes and a rigorous academic curriculum to give pupils the space, support and challenge they need to succeed.
We are a small, supportive school for children aged 4-16, delivering a broad and balanced curriculum that leads to GCSEs and other nationally recognised qualifications, helping pupils move confidently into post-16 education and future careers.
