Parent Essentials

Outside of lessons, students with shared passions can come together at college-organised clubs and societies that range from poetry and biology to team sports and Student Council. Looking for something different? The possibilities are endless! We can help you set up your own activity – or find a local club that’s right for you.

We organise several social events throughout the year, from cultural celebrations and fundraising drives to film screenings. You’ll enjoy an informal welcome party at the start of each year, a Christmas get-together, and a spring punting and picnic day, too. Our Summer Ball ends the academic year in style.

Both day and boarding students have the time and freedom to discover the vibrant cultural experiences on offer in Oxford. Our compact city is home to world-class museums and galleries, several theatres and music venues, and an outstanding range of cafés, restaurants, and food markets.

There’s so much to see and do around Oxford – and beyond. Our boarders enjoy weekends packed with activities, whether it’s hopping on the train to London, going for a walk in the countryside, or riding a rollercoaster at Thorpe Park. We also offer the Nord Anglia Education expedition to Les Martinets in Switzerland, where students take on physical challenges and work as a team.
