How long has the College existed?

Founded in Oxford in 1972, Cherwell College has grown steadily throughout its thirty year history and now looks after around 150 full time students each academic year. The College has thrived through its reputation for putting students first. At Cherwell, you really are an individual and can choose exactly the subjects you most want to study. We believe this will be the key to your success in life.

Most students at the College are studying for A-levels, while a smaller number study for GCSE examinations. The majority of students board in one of the five halls of residence that the College owns, but the College also accepts day students.

The College is proud of having pioneered Easter revision courses - a new concept in education in the 1980s, and widely imitated ever since. Cherwell has a long association with Hertford and Jesus Colleges at the University of Oxford, where students joining the revision courses have lived and studied for more than twenty years at Easter. The dual inspiration of the University environment and Cherwell's teaching has taken many students to grades which have surpassed their expectations.

The College also offers an excellent programme of interview preparation for applicants to Oxford and Cambridge, studies in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science, and, most recently, a programme geared around the new test set by leading universities in History, Law and Medicine.

Students also visit the College to study short-term throughout the year, at holidays, weekends, and on half-term and other school exeats.
