Our Uniqueness
We are a Cambridge International School. Our strong academic and extra-curricular programmes ensure our scholars are prepared for the tertiary institution of their choice!!
Our Tutorial-style
Oxford Manor College's teaching is built around adding value to each student in terms of academic performance. For this purpose, a Value-Added system is operated alongside a completion system in the Lower and Senior Schools.
The Value-Added system ensures that students, whatever their ability, are catered for in every teacher's approach, while the Completions system tracks students' progress through the curriculum and flags up where additional support is needed. 'Value Added' is plotted on a horizontal grid to ensure that no students of either greater or lesser ability are compared with any other students.
The intention is that each student moves from left to right along this grid towards greater and greater ability using differentiated approaches and Study techniques. In this, the Senior Management Team is proactive, using the Value-Added grids to work out which student needs more support to progress in value-added terms and then providing it accordingly.
What Makes Oxford Manor College Unique?
Oxford Manor College delivers independent school education with exceptionally competitive fees while the staff-to-student ratio furnishes a full educational solution for ages 11 to 16.
Being non-selective, Oxford Manor College also provides facilities to support and encourage students by concentrating on adding educational value at every stage of their development. Scholars whose prior school experience or progress may not have been satisfactory are often taken in so that they can be permitted to flourish and achieve results to the level of their potential. Intervention classes are administered to ensure that they are helped through each stage of their education with one-to-one assistance available where required.
The school strives to give Year 9 scholars the broadest possible choice of subjects ready for their examination in Year 10 and beyond, in alignment with its aim to provide tailored individual support. Oxford Manor College uses Mid-Term and End of Term assessments provided by Cambridge Checkpoint examination for quality control purposes, and individual teachers use other formal and informal assessments to ensure that students are making progress within the school year. Oxford Manor College respects every child as an individual and aims to give them opportunities to explore and realize their potential in their development of academic, creative, and social skills.
The Student Counsellor
The Student Counsellor oversees the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of the students. Pastoral care sessions encourage students to become involved in decision-making processes and ensure they are listened to in school, as well as help students learn how to argue and defend points of view. Our ethics and morals system is overseen by the Senior Management Team and the School Counsellor, whose roles include ensuring that all values are actively promoted. The Counsellor’s Office helps students to understand how perceived injustice can be peacefully challenged. Collectively, we ensure school rules and expectations are clear and fair and daily help students to distinguish right from wrong.
Oxford Manor College's pastoral care provision supports students in developing self-knowledge, self-esteem, and self-confidence, encourages students to take responsibility for their behaviour, as well as to know their rights, and models freedom of speech through student participation, while ensuring the protection of vulnerable students and promoting critical analysis of evidence. Our ethics and morals system helps to implement a robust anti-bullying culture in which students, parents, and staff views are valued and sought. All students are made aware, where possible, of others' needs and how to support each other. This actively promotes respect for individual differences, helps students to acquire an understanding of, and respect for, their own and different cultures and ways of life, and challenges prejudicial or discriminatory behaviour.
The system assists students to respect the school rules and the basis on which it is made and brings students to understand that living under these rules protects individuals. In cases where disagreement arises, the system includes restorative justice approaches to resolve conflicts.

Our Ethics and morals system
Part of the Oxford Manor Colleges' ethics and morals system is the use of The Behaviour Ladder, a discipline code that was devised by teachers and in consultation with students. This code forms the basis for the dissemination of sanctions in the school. However, individual programs may be worked out in consultation with the individual student concerned and, when needed, his or her parents. These are followed where appropriate by pastoral care programs to ensure that the individual is educated on any underlying principles leading to misbehaviour.
Oxford Manor Colleges’ zero-tolerance approach to bullying is acknowledged as effective by students themselves. Student questionnaires strongly support the school, commenting mainly on teachers helping them to learn. Oxford Manor College students develop a keen moral awareness that pervades the whole life of the school, clearly understanding right from wrong. They develop a good sense of identity, self-worth, and self-confidence, as demonstrated by their demeanour around the school and in many of their activities. The result is students who are re-engaged with themselves, with the group, and with their studies, regain self-respect and purpose, rather than the alienation, dissent, and division common in other approaches, which can produce degradation and apathy.
Relationships Between Staff And Students
The good relationships between staff and students, and amongst the students themselves are a notable feature of Oxford Manor College and are part of its strength. Students and parents are often personally welcomed by the Director of Education and the Senior Management Team, and this is part of the care that we devote to the well-being of all the stakeholders of the school as judged by the letters and questionnaire responses. Students and staff have mutual respect, and remarkable rapport can also be judged by the high quality of graduate speeches given at the end of each year during our annual graduation ceremony.
