A STEAM CURRICULUM

What is STEAM?

While STEM expressly focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEAM builds on these concepts through the creative process. The “Arts” refers not only to visual Arts and Design but also to the Social and Linguistic Arts: Languages, Humanities, Music, Drama, Dance and Media.

New in 2024: Our STEAM Centre of Excellence and Innovation

We are delighted to announce our new, state of the art STEAM Centre.

STEAM, standing for Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Maths, provides a holistic, explorative and innovative educational experience.

Working in conjunction with our Essex Cognita schools, our pupils will have access to purpose-built suites, labs and kitchens. Launching with our Form IV, V and VI pupils (with the intention to eventually allow lower years access), we will deliver a dynamic, cutting-edge dimension to our pupils’ learning from September 2024.

Oxford House is proud to be at the forefront of tomorrow’s learning with this rare, specialist and nationally respected curriculum.

We cannot wait for our pupils’ adventures with STEAM to begin.
