Cherwell College Oxford
Oxford, Oxfordshire, South East · OX1 2AR
With just 28 pupils on its roll, Cherwell College Oxford is a notably small independent school, and that scale shapes its character. Based in Oxford and offering boarding, it caters to a select group of students rather than a large cohort. Led by Principal Stephen Clarke, the college is inspected by the ISI and focuses its provision on A-level study. The intimate setting suits families looking for a closely supervised, individual approach in the sixth-form years.
