The Oratory is an HMC Co-educational Catholic Boarding and Day School founded by Saint John Henry Newman in 1859. Situated on a stunning 100-acre Oxfordshire countryside estate near Reading, it has easy access to the M4 and M40 with Heathrow only 50 minutes drive away.

The Oratory combines strong academic results with a supportive family ethos. We are genuinely an all-round school and we believe in nurturing pupils to achieve their very best in whatever it is they set out to do. ‘I am known: I am more’ highlights The Oratory’s holistic, all-round approach to education. An Oratory education focuses on the whole pupil, seeing them as they are, ‘wonderfully made’, and seeks to draw out and develop each pupil’s innate gifts, skills and talents, which we believe each of them has in abundance, be they academic, sporting, artistic, dramatic or inter-personal.

The Oratory deliberately remains a small school, with small class sizes, outstanding pastoral care, and a wonderful sense of community. It is this supportive environment that allows us to focus and develop each of our pupils and which nurtures the confidence, self-expression and resilience that is vital for success and happiness in the world today.
