Thank you for visiting our website, and I am delighted to welcome you to North Oxfordshire Academy. We are part of a group of academies, primaries, and independent schools called United Learning. The United Learning motto is 'The Best in Everyone', and we wholeheartedly subscribe to this philosophy. I know what a truly amazing experience it is to be part of the North Oxfordshire Academy community; I am lucky enough to have worked at NOA since 2011 and have seen first-hand how our community has transformed lives . I am very proud of our school and, most importantly, of the students and staff with whom we have the pleasure of spending each day.
North Oxfordshire Academy exists to provide our students and families with the very best life chances in Oxfordshire. Our vision is for North Oxfordshire Academy to be a place where students receive a world class education in character and academics so that students are happy and fulfilled. Our values of respect, ambition and determination support us all to develop into thoughtful and confident citizens.
