Welcome to Oxford Spires Academy! Our mission is to educate students to become knowledgeable, globally minded, compassionate, confident and kind. I am exceptionally proud to lead a team of ambitious and passionate staff who are committed to ensure our students achieve highly and are equipped to lead a fulfilled life.
First and foremost, this requires students to perform their very best in the national exams sat in Year 11 and 13. Qualifications are the currency of choice and opportunity, and we ensure our curriculums (what we teach) from Year 7 prepare all our students for academic success. We share this curriculum as widely as possible.
Our bespoke Scholars Guides give students, parents and carers a detailed week by week overview of the critical knowledge being taught each week. We refuse to allow any disadvantage of a student to be a barrier to achievement. We commit ourselves to supporting students to be the best they can be.
