"St Oswald's is a hidden gem!"

I'm so grateful to have discovered St Oswald's CofE Academy. My child has thrived since starting in Reception and I love the emphasis on values such as kindness and hard work. The school's facilities are impressive, especially the outdoor spaces which are perfect for nature-based learning.

"Fantastic community and teaching"

We've been at St Oswald's for a year now and I'm blown away by the sense of community and the quality of teaching. My child loves attending after-school clubs and the staff are always supportive. The emphasis on Christianity is also reassuring for me as a parent.

"Mixed feelings about the school"

I have mixed feelings about St Oswald's. On the one hand, my child received a great education and made some wonderful friends. On the other hand, the school's communication with parents could be better and sometimes the values emphasis felt forced. Overall, a solid choice but not perfect.
