• Knowledge growth in a wide range of subjects

• Effective autonomous learning

• The acquisition of cultural and social literacy

• Personal growth through a broad curriculum of subjects

OISE Newbury is a safe and special place delivering a ‘trajectory education’. As a stepping stone from pupils’ backgrounds towards their ambitions, the course helps potential high-achievers forge their own learning practices in harmony with their personality.

Pupils also learn to think independently. 

The academic programme

New language, knowledge and skills in the service of better thinking and becoming a better learner generally. Academically literate pupils can successfully face the challenges of understanding and responding creatively to complex ideas in English and can generate both informed and personal opinions. Over the longer term the programme provides an ideal transition for international pupils into mainstream UK education.

Intensive Exam Skills

These programmes teach exam strategies, for example IELTS and IGCSEs and provide extensive practice tests with feedback against mark schemes so that pupils feel confident going into the exam. Pupils also have dedicated language lessons to ensure they cover the exam vocabulary and grammar.

The programme

Pupils develop a confidence founded on genuine improvements in their knowledge and skills, and in increasingly proficient English. Whether a pupil stays for a week, a month, a year or more, the format of individual lessons is similar each week while the specific content and outcomes change. This allows students to establish formative routines to hone their core skills, all the while acquiring broader general knowledge and improving their English.
