Join our vibrant community and experience an exceptional education
We regularly welcome international pupils* from a variety of countries to join our school community. International families choose Oxford House because of our commitment to academic excellence, character development, global perspectives, and British values, as well as our excellent academic results and a strong focus on wellbeing.
All pupils – British, EU and international – are charged the same fees, regardless of nationality or immigration status.
*International pupils are those with nationalities other than UK or Irish who are subject to immigration control.
English as an additional language (EAL)
Pupils who need support with English as an Additional Language prior to enrolment and/or during the first year of their studies may be referred to Cognita’s English language school, Ardmore. Ardmore have over 35 years’ experience supporting young English learners and have recently developed an online platform – Ardmore X – to support teacher-led and independent study.
Ardmore can support international pupils prepare for life at school in the UK in the weeks and months prior to the start of term. They can also support pupils throughout their first few terms with us, scheduling online English lessons outside of the standard school day.
International admissions
Pupils who are non-native English speakers will be asked to meet online with a member of our parent company, Cognita’s, international team, who will informally assess their English language level. The international team will then advise the school whether the student would benefit from additional support with their English prior to enrolment and/or during the first year of their studies.
Oxford House and Cognita work with a range of international student recruitment agencies, education consultants and relocation agents. Agents and consultants are invited to contact the international admissions team at Cognita about representation.
