Welcome to Oldfield School

I look back at my own Sixth Form experience with great fondness. It was a time when I could study subjects I had an interest in and discover a wider academic and social world. I want all our students to benefit from a vision that places their aspirations at the heart of everything we do. Expect to have a busy and rewarding time at Oldfield Sixth Form! We look forward to welcoming you.Graham Nash, Head of Sixth Form

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Sixth Form life is about so much more than just attending your lessons. We believe that enrichment events and opportunities make our students more rounded learners, more engaged with the wider community and ensure that their time here in our Sixth Form is one they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Duke of Edinburgh
Oldfield School runs a very successful Duke of Edinburgh programme at all levels of the award, whether students are starting at Bronze level or wish to move onto their Silver and Gold awards.
School Service & Community Links
All Year 12 and 13 students are encouraged to actively engage with school service. Guided by our Student Leadership Team, students will, throughout the year, be involved and lead a host of whole school activities and events. These could be as a learning mentor for Year 11 students, or providing support for new Year 7 students. Our students are also expected to volunteer and contribute to the wider community, and this can be through supporting students in our local primary schools or visiting local care homes.
Trips for the Sixth Form
As part of the Sixth Form experience, day trips and residential trips can be important in enhancing a student’s subject knowledge. Our History students have visited both St Petersburg and Moscow to support their study of Russian history. Drama students have experienced a residential theatre trip to London to watch a play in the Globe and participate in a workshop on Elizabethan costume design. Drama and English students have visited New York, there is a History and Psychology trip to Berlin and our Modern Foreign Languages students have the opportunity to participate in an immersive language trip to Spain or France.
