Things to note
Challenges and journeys of discovery create memories that will last forever and are an important way of developing invaluable life skills such as leadership and team-work.
The CCF, Adventurous Training, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Skiing provide real challenge to pupils outside their normal comfort zone.
There is a varied programme of overseas trips that enables pupils to expand their horizons and challenges them to develop their talents and their minds further. Senior sports tours have visited South Africa & Ireland (Rugby), Barbados (Cricket) and Spain (Rowing); academic trips have gone to Iceland, Germany, Poland, France; and the music department has performed in Hong Kong and the U.S.A.
Coming to see the school and meeting the pupils and staff is by far the best way of knowing whether The Oratory will be the right place for your child, and they would be very happy to arrange a visit. However, as an initial first step, they hope that these pages will give you a good guide to the admissions process. CLICK HERE for more information.
