About

Why should you choose The Oratory School? Because The Oratory is just as much about the people as it is the place. Let us explain. Without doubt, everyone expects a school like ours to provide a superlative academic education we do. At The Oratory we believe that there is an important difference between being fully qualified and fully human.

Groundedness, Wholeness and Kindness are created by the right ethos and environment. This is what helps you build habits that will serve you for life and allow you to be of service to others.

These are the sort of qualities that will, without doubt, be to the fore in all your achievements: in your life's critical encounters, your choice of career and your progress through the world. The sort of talents and values that make you a good human being.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
