"A Warm and Welcoming School"

We've been really impressed with the warmth and inclusivity of the Oratory Prep community. The school's focus on individuality and creativity has encouraged our child to explore their interests and talents. While the school could improve on communication with parents, we're overall very happy with our decision to join the school.

"Mixed Feelings about Oratory Prep"

We had a mixed experience at Oratory Prep, with some great teachers and excellent facilities, but also some communication issues with the school office and a lack of consistency in the curriculum. Our child did well academically, but we're not sure if the school is the right fit for everyone.
