Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school was founded in 1977 as a sixth form college to help students who had struggled elsewhere pass their A-levels. This ethos—building confidence and prioritising wellbeing—remains central to its holistic approach. Today, d'Overbroeck's operates across three sites in Oxford: Senior School, International School, and Sixth Form. It is part of the Nord Anglia Education global family, which provides access to world-leading education technology and international collaborations.
The school spans three main sites in north Oxford and several boarding houses, creating a lively and inclusive learning community. The House system links Years 7-11 and The International School, with regular events that foster collaboration and friendly competition. The community is supported by a welcoming environment from the d'Overbroeck's family and the Nord Anglia Education family, emphasizing openness and mutual respect. Parents are invited into school through a parent portal to connect with current families, and there is an open-door policy for accessing teachers and leadership, with regular concerts, performances, and exhibitions for the community to enjoy.
D'Overbroeck's Oxford is an independent, co‑educational day and boarding school for ages 11 to 18, operating across campuses in north Oxford: Senior School, International School and Sixth Form, with The Arts Centre as a facility on site. The school follows the English National Curriculum for Years 7–11, leading to GCSEs at 16, and offers a flexible Sixth Form pathway with 38 A‑levels alongside BTECs and Level 3 options, plus the Extended Project Qualification. In Year 9, pupils choose two languages from French, Spanish and Latin, or study classical civilisation, while sciences remain individually taught. A Plus programme supports admissions coaching for competitive degree courses, including Medicine and Law, with a pathway for international students. Facilities include a Microsoft Showcase School environment, modern devices, and the Global Campus platform. Extracurriculars span performing arts (with Juilliard collaboration), sport via University of Oxford venues, and community service through the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
