Welcome to Chipping Norton School

We are immensely proud of our sixth form provision. Found to be Outstanding by Ofsted in 2017 and again in 2024, we believe that Chipping Norton Sixth Form is an exciting place for you to begin the next stage of your academic journey. At CNS, the vision of Everyone Achieving and Everyone Belonging sits at the core of everything we do. This is why our students achieve well above national averages and it is why “pupils thrive in this safe and supportive environment” (Ofsted 2023). We believe that a successful student is a student who lives our values of Compassion, Courage, Creativity and Curiosity. We teach these values explicitly through our Character Education programme and aim to leave our sixth formers able to face the challenges posed by the modern world. We do this by instilling in our young people a sense of optimism and hope, encouraging them to become diligent, determined and responsible members of our community.
