Oxford International College
Catchment Area, Exam Results and Reviews

Pupils are mostly excited and very positive about their fledgling school. Despite its being modelled closely on the proprietor’s successful college in Oxford, pupils know that they are at the centre of their own unique, international family, growing purposefully in the new college at Brighton. Expectations of what pupils can achieve are high. Pupils themselves are ambitious. They behave well. Many are already keenly aware of their potential next steps on leaving the school. Pupils talk eagerly about the positives here. The list shared with inspectors was long, including the way ‘knowledgeable’ staff teach, friendships and the enrichment provided by the school’s ‘super-curriculum’ programme. One pupil described this last element as the component that made his life ‘more colourful’. Pupils also talk about the school being a safe environment where staff act on concerns quickly. Pupils are measured when discussing aspects that they feel could be better. They are particularly aware of their own role in building the school’s defining ethos. Poor manners are frowned on. Older students in the sixth form are additionally mindful of the contribution they themselves can make in developing the school’s values and are keen to leave their mark for those who will follow.
