An introduction from Principal Ruth Robinson
I am delighted to welcome you to the North Oxfordshire Academy website. Here you will find everything you need to know about us.
North Oxfordshire Academy has been opened to raise standards and create new opportunities for generations of students in Banbury.
Our academy is a vibrant learning community, enriched by an ethos of hard work, care, tolerance and discipline where every student is expected to aim high and outperform their previous best.
To achieve this, we have five key aims which underpin everything we do:
Learning is at the heart of all we do
Excellent structures support learning and progress
Achievement for all – we outperform our previous best
Reputation for innovation and excellence
New technologies enrich and extend learning
We are privileged to be sponsored by the United Learning Trust (ULT), the largest sponsor of academies in the UK and are proud to have the Vodafone UK Foundation as a financial benefactor. The United Learning Trust has a proven track record in education, having run schools in the independent sector for over 125 years. ULT's objective, which we share, is to bring out 'the best in everyone'. We are also very proud to be an International Baccalaureate World School, which means that we are able to offer the IB Diploma Programme in our Sixth Form.
I am really looking forward to working with students, staff, parents and the whole of the local community to build a vibrant, happy and successful academy which will deliver the very highest standard of education.
Ruth Robinson
Principal
