Imogen (Upper Sixth)
“OLA is a lively and innovative environment that allows you to express yourself in any way you choose to do so. This atmosphere has been created by the teachers who are really engaging and as the school is so small it allows for everyone to be friends with each other across all years.”
General information
Most new pupils begin school with us at the start of the academic year in September but if places are available, we will consider applications to start part-way through an academic year.
