Oldfield focuses on both academic and personal development. I’m surrounded by supportive staff and an enriching atmosphere that’s given me what I need to thrive. I’ve enjoyed the extra-curricular opportunities I’ve had, such as taking part in the writing and editing of the school’s newspaper. Imogen Middlefell Head Student
Tutorial Programme Our tutorial programme is designed to cover a wide range of PSHE topics, including student finance. We also run a study skills session for all new Year 12 students throughout their first two terms. The step up to A level is considerable and so knowing how to keep organised, keep effective notes and manage time are important skills all students need to learn. Sixth Form Bursary The fund is made available from the government to provide support towards the most financially disadvantaged 16–19 year-olds – those that most need help with the costs of staying in further education or training. Oldfield School will determine the eligibility criteria for discretionary bursaries. The 16–19 bursary will only be awarded to a student that is eligible and facing genuine financial barriers to participating in further education or training. The bursary fund can be used to cover the cost of travel to and from school, lunches, text books and trips.
Supporting Each and Every Student We offer an open door policy, whether that is tutors, the Head of Sixth Form, Assistant Head of Sixth Form and our Pastoral Support Team. We are always on hand to offer advice and guidance. We would encourage parents and carers to get in touch with any concerns; most problems can be resolved with open and prompt dialogue.
We believe in providing every student with the pastoral support they need to make a success of their studies.
