It is a privilege to be Headteacher of this school. Oldfield School has an excellent reputation for academic achievement and for the high quality of our pastoral support. This is a high achieving comprehensive school with an inclusive ethos which allows students of all abilities, backgrounds and aptitudes to achieve or exceed their potential. Our core purpose is to provide a challenging and supportive environment for the children in our care and to ensure that they are fully prepared for their future lives and I believe that we do this very well.
We have very high expectations of our students with regards to their learning, behaviour and aspirations. This is evident in their conduct around the school, attitude to learning, examination results and the pride that they show in wearing their uniform.
We also strive to provide a first class experience outside of the classroom. There is a wide and varied range of enrichment and extracurricular opportunities and these contribute as much to the development and success of our students as their academic experiences. A successful school has the well-being of its students at the heart of what it does and this is why Oldfield is such a successful school.
If you want to find out more about our school then you can do so through our website and prospectus and also by visiting us to experience the school during a normal school day.
I look forward to meeting with you.
Steven Mackay
Headteacher
We provide an exceptional education in an environment that challenges all students and fosters ambition. Our students have respect for themselves, each other and their school and are well-prepared to face the world as compassionate, confident and resilient young people.
Nature of the school and location
Oldfield School is a successful, high attaining 11-18 mixed comprehensive with 1250 students located in the historic city of Bath. The school campus is on the outskirts of the north-west of the city and we benefit from a large, semi-rural setting with excellent transport links for students and staff. The school has an attractive, open and dispersed site. A notable feature is the location of teaching rooms and our Sixth Form in Penn House, an 18th century Georgian manor house.
Our school has an excellent reputation locally and in the wider community for academic excellence and the quality of pastoral care and support. The school has with a comprehensive intake which reflects the diversity of the local community. The most recent Ofsted inspection was in January 2020, when the school was judged to be good in all areas. A feature of the inspection report was the inclusive nature of the school and the sense of community felt by staff and students. Inspectors commented that staff were overwhelmingly positive about the support that they receive from leaders and on how friendly and welcoming the school is for staff.
Oldfield is a school where staff development is an essential feature. The teaching and support staff at the school are an excellent team who work well together to provide opportunities for students to achieve or exceed their potential. The needs of our students are paramount and this is recognised by all staff, who have a common view that only the best is good enough. We have a commitment to sharing good practice in developing leaders, teachers and support staff.
The school has a successful and popular Sixth Form of 190 students. We offer a wide range of A Level courses and opportunities for our sixth form students and all faculties offer A Level courses. A Level classes are relatively small, which provides a personalised learning experience for our students.
