Welcome to Wallingford School. We are proud to sit right at the heart of our community. Our aim is to create a vibrant, inclusive environment where your child—and the staff who guide them—will love to learn and work every single day. 

Our simple yet ambitious promise to you is that we will send your children into the world both able and qualified. We know how much your child's future education and career opportunities mean to you, and academic success is central to what we do. Our performance at both GCSE and A-Level is consistently excellent, regularly placing us among the very best schools in Oxfordshire. However, while exam success matters immensely, it does not define everything we value. We strive to give every single child an exceptional educational experience, celebrating their unique talents and helping them grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. 

We want our students to enjoy a rich, fulfilling school life. That is why your child will have access to a fantastic range of extra-curricular activities—including sports, music, drama, and the arts—designed to build their confidence, discover new passions, and make lifelong memories. 

You can be confident that your child is in safe hands. Following our Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was formally rated as ‘Good’, with inspectors highly praising our strong leadership, high-quality teaching, and the excellent behaviour and attitudes of our students. 

As a comprehensive, co-educational school, we believe in the power of a truly inclusive community. We seek to ensure that every young person in our local catchment area—including those with more complex needs—has a place to thrive. To ensure your child learns in the best possible environment, we recently opened a brand-new building featuring 20 state-of-the-art science laboratories and modern classrooms. 

We are also incredibly fortunate to share a 350-year history with the Merchant Taylors’ Company as part of the Merchant Taylors’ Oxfordshire Academy Trust (MTOAT). This long-standing partnership brings unique opportunities and stability to our school community. 

Ultimately, a school is only as strong as its people. We are incredibly proud of our highly committed, first-class teachers and staff, who are deeply dedicated to your child's success. Visitors to our campus frequently comment on our vibrant, happy, and well-disciplined atmosphere. It is an environment where children truly feel safe, inspired, and motivated to learn. 

As Governors, we are immensely proud of what Wallingford School achieves every day. We are fully committed to working alongside you to maintain these high standards and ensure your child receives the very best start in life.
