Yes, we offer boarding in comfortable boarding houses, each of which is within walking distance of our main college site. Our accommodation is staffed by a wonderful team of highly skilled house parents, who provide the care and individual support each student needs to thrive.
Oxford Sixth Form College is a truly international community that’s home to students from more than 35 countries. We embrace and celebrate our cultural diversity, learning, collaborating, and growing together as global citizens.
As part of the admissions process, prospective students are invited to an informal interview. This is an opportunity to talk about your strengths, academic interests, and hobbies, and discuss your personal goals – including university or career aspirations.
International students who don’t have IGCSE qualifications in English or maths will also be asked to sit an entry test. We may ask you to complete an English language test, too. If you’re applying for one of our scholarships, we’ll invite you to sit an assessment in the relevant subject.

The college is known for its small group, tutorial-style approach to teaching. In classes averaging just six – and with a teacher-student ratio of 1 to 4 – you’ll receive expert academic instruction and unwavering personal support. Our classes are informal and interactive environments, too, where ideas, creativity, and individuality flourish.
Our students’ outstanding success takes them to some of the world’s top universities. Destinations include the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London.
Classes run between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Every student’s day is different, depending on the academic programme being followed and subjects studied.
Students living at St Ebbe’s and Pensons Gardens enjoy breakfast and an evening meal seven days a week. At Alice House, our older students tuck into a healthy, nutritious breakfast each morning, but cook their own meals in the evening. This is excellent preparation for independent living at university!
Yes, every student has their own private, ensuite bedroom.
Yes, your friends can come and see you. It’s important that guests stay in the common areas; they’re not allowed in your or anyone else’s bedroom. We limit the number of visitors at any one time for safety reasons.
Yes, we actively encourage you to personalise your bedroom. We want you to feel at home in a space that really feels like your own.
Every student’s timetable is different, but classes typically run between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday. Your time is your own before and after dinner. At the weekend, you can take part in college-organised activities or explore Oxford. We also expect you to make time for homework, assignments, and exam preparation.
