"Academic excellence and a loving atmosphere"

We visited several schools in Oxford before choosing John Watson and we're so glad we did. The school's focus on academic achievement is impressive, but it's the care and attention each child receives that truly sets it apart. Our daughter loves going to school and we're grateful for the wonderful teachers and staff.
