Welcome Message

Ours is an education unlike any other in the UK. St Clare’s, Oxford is a remarkable place of global education for remarkable young people, advancing international education and understanding for 70 years.

As well as a world-leading International Baccalaureate World School, the oldest in England, we are specialists in the Sixth Form experience. We attract students from over 50 countries and embrace internationalism and academic excellence as our core values. Our teachers write the IB textbooks and teach the teachers of the future, and our results are consistently sector-leading and far above global averages. In the last 3 years, 90% of students have scored above the world average, and every year we have students achieve the maximum IB score of 45, placing them in the top 1% globally.

Everyone in our community is united by one key motivation: to be challenged and step out of their comfort zones to grow, and to be the most globally aware and academically ambitious version of themselves. Walking around our university-style setting, you see individualism and character, engagement with the community, independence, responsibility, and happy, fulfilled young people readying themselves for the world. This is just one reason why independent analysts show that our students consistently make more academic progress here, than they would at most other IB schools in the UK.

To be at St Clare’s is to feel freedom and benefit of choice; any career, any location, any direction for your future made possible. Our Careers and Higher Education support is among the best in the world, sending students to the top-ranking universities worldwide but, more importantly, to the right university for them. With 90% of our students going to their first choice, this is where aspiration and ambition meet knowledge and experience.

We believe that academic achievement matters and lays the foundations for prosperous futures, and that independence is the greatest skill a person - and a mind - can learn. St Clare’s is a place for those who think differently. We help young people become academically successful, self-reliant, and ready for the world.

Abigail

September 2015

University

Abigail completed her International Baccalaureate Diploma in 2017 with a score of 44 points. She then went on to read History at the University of Oxford. Hear from Abigail on how St Clare's helped her: "Academically, this positivity and friendliness also maintained. I was surprised at how students and teachers could become friends and build up such a close relationship. I was even more surprised at how spectacular these teachers were. Honestly speaking, here at St Clare’s, I have met some of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life and have been waking up everyday, so ready and looking forward to learning new things. It was no longer just listening to the teacher and taking notes – discussions were common, debates and challenges to an established theory were not rare at all, and we were often encouraged to lead the lesson through presentations. I really felt I was here to learn, instead of simply preparing to score high in the final IB exam. Despite their knowledge, every teacher was very caring and would never skimp on giving the help needed and required by the students, even if that meant spending hours after school. They were always there to speak to. During those two years, there have certainly been disappointments and tears, but in the end, all I am taking away is these happy memories, motivations, knowledge and good friends who have cried, laughed and studied with me. I feel extremely lucky to have chosen St Clare’s for sixth form education, and I am proud and honoured to say that I was a student of St Clare’s.”
