`We learn not for school but for life’
Oswestry School is an independent, co-educational day & boarding school, with an 11-18 Senior School of c.400 pupils and a 4-11 Prep School of c.120 pupils. The strong ethos of the School is reflected in its strength of pastoral care and sense of community. The School recently underwent inspection, with a very good report. As well as providing a fantastic learning and living environment for young people, Oswestry School offers an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding working environment.
Located in the ancient town of Oswestry in the county of Shropshire, the school was founded in 1407 and, as such, lays claim to being one of the oldest truly independent schools in the country. It is located in a beautiful corner of Shropshire with easy access to the great outdoors as well as good links to the local town of Shrewsbury and the cities of Chester, Manchester and Birmingham.
