I've been a member of this wonderful team since 2021, joining Head Office in 2022, having previously been an English as a Foreign Language teacher. I've lived and worked abroad - firstly in Vietnam and then Italy - which is where my passion for language learning and discovering new cultures comes from! As well as being part of HQ, I also work on campus when our summer school is open, often teaching again, being a part of the management team, and joining in with all the activities. My fantastic colleagues also come from similar backgrounds with the same passion - providing all our students with the best experience.

The Oratory School is located in the charming countryside of Oxfordshire. Its extensive grounds feature a variety of sports amenities, such as a golf course, real tennis courts, and several lawn tennis courts, providing students with ample opportunities to participate in physical activities. Established in 1859, the Oratory School has a rich history and many of its original buildings still stand today.

It is not surprising that the famous author J.R.R. Tolkien selected one of their lovely rooms to write a part of his iconic book, “The Hobbit.” Over the past century, the Oratory School has gained acclaim for its real tennis achievements and has become a preferred location for visits by the royal family, who have come several times to compete against both staff and students.

about provider

I highly recommend this place to any family looking for a comprehensive experience abroad for their kids. The staff is incredibly professional. My son, Lucas, who is 14 years old, had a fantastic time and a memorable experience last summer. He made friends from around the globe and truly felt like part of the family. The first thing he said when he got back was, "I'm going again next summer!!!"

I had a fantastic week with my son at the Camp. It was an incredible experience for both of us! The staff felt like a big family – they were professional and caring. My son Pietro, who is 7 years old, and I made friends from all over the world! We can't wait to see the family again next year!
