d’Overbroeck’s Oxford is a co-educational independent school for pupils aged 11 to 18, offering day and full boarding places in the centre of one of the UK’s most academically active cities. Founded in 1977 and now part of the Nord Anglia Education group, the school has around 475 pupils and holds an ‘Excellent’ rating from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) across all areas. Its position in Oxford — within reach of the university’s libraries, lecture series, and collegiate life — shapes an environment where academic ambition is entirely ordinary. The school ranks in the top 5% of UK schools for academic progress, a measure based on outcomes across the full pupil population rather than selective intake.
d’Overbroeck’s offers GCSEs from Year 7, alongside BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) qualifications and a foundation programme. In 2022, 66% of A-level entries achieved A or A* grades. The curriculum covers a range of specialist pathways: the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) sits alongside A-level study, and the UAL Creative Arts Foundation provides a structured post-18 route for pupils pursuing art and design. International applicants have two dedicated entry points — the 11i International Programme at Year 11 (ages 15–16) and the Extended A-Level Programme (EALP) at sixth form — both with EAL (English as an Additional Language) support built in.
The sixth form runs A-levels and the EALP for international pupils. Day sixth form tuition is £36,480 (2025/26) per year; full boarding adds £29,715 per year. The EALP tuition fee is £43,020 per year for day pupils, with additional EAL support at £5,595 (Year 12) and £1,005 (Year 13). University preparation — covering Oxbridge, medicine, veterinary science, and engineering pathways — is embedded into sixth form provision.

Boarding opens from Year 9. Full boarding and weekly boarding are both available at senior and sixth form level. Senior full boarding costs £26,790 per year on top of tuition; weekly boarding is £19,890 per year. For the 11i International Programme, the full boarding supplement is £26,790 per year. Boarding fees include breakfast and dinner. The school sits in north Oxford, so boarders can reach the city on foot or by cycle — the collegiate atmosphere of Oxford itself forms part of the boarding experience.
As a member of the Nord Anglia Education group, d’Overbroeck’s runs collaborative programmes with MIT and The Juilliard School, bringing STEM projects and performing arts workshops into the school calendar. The UAL Creative Arts Foundation is delivered on-site and feeds directly into university applications for arts-track pupils. The EPQ allows pupils to pursue independent research projects alongside their main qualifications — a format that sits naturally in Oxford, where independent inquiry is the norm.
The school occupies a site in north Oxford, within the city rather than on a rural campus. Oxford city centre is walkable, giving pupils access to libraries, museums, theatres, and the broader cultural infrastructure of a major university city. The Nord Anglia group connection supports ongoing investment in facilities and academic programmes.
Oxford is approximately 60 miles from London Heathrow Airport, reachable in around 90 minutes by road or via the direct Oxford Tube coach service. London Gatwick is around 90 miles away. Rail services connect Oxford to London Paddington in just over an hour.
