Welcome to Old Swinford Hospital, or OSH for short. Rated ‘Outstanding for boarding’ by Ofsted and bringing together boarders and day students within its community, OSH prides itself on offering a unique educational experience where learning doesn’t end at the afternoon school bell. We are a community of many parts where we encourage each student to be themselves, and also to make their own contribution to it. Diversity of life is embraced, and learning to live – not simply work – alongside one another is a life skill that cannot be underestimated.
We are delighted to receive such positive affirmation from the Ofsted inspectorate. What struck them most was the strength of community here and the ways in which our boarders are so involved in the many aspects of School life.
There’s simply no better way to experience what life at OSH is like than by seeing our school and community first-hand.
We invite you to explore our campus and boarding houses, and meet the pupils who enjoy studying and boarding here. It’s a great way to get a sense of why OSH is truly a place to ‘discover who you can be’.
Open Morning is particularly focused towards Year 7 entry but all are welcome to attend. We look forward to welcoming you!
