The London Oratory School

Founded in 1863, the school is one of England’s oldest state-funded Catholic schools. Academically excellent - in 2016, at GCSE, 87% got 5+ A*-C grades including maths and English. Think of a subject and the school will cater for it – even if it is not on offer, provisions will be made. Around 30 new entrants join the accelerated group of learners and five out of six form groups learn Latin until the end of the third form. Very sporty school, especially in rugby and rowing. All sixth formers, other than those taking Theology at A level or AS level, follow a general religious education programme in the sixth form.
