Cokethorpe is an independent, co-educational day school, providing a liberal education with exceptional breadth and an individual focus to some 630 pupils. Encompassing the Prep and Senior Schools on a single site and set in 150 acres of glorious West Oxfordshire parkland, nestled on the edge of the Cotswolds’ renowned serenity and a stone’s throw from metropolitan Oxford, Cokethorpe believes in developing the characteristics of leadership in all of our pupils.

Founded in 1957, Cokethorpe’s 150 acres of beautiful grounds are central to the exceptional breadth the School is able to offer its pupils and to the glorious environment in which our staff work and educate.

In the words of the Headmaster, Mr Damian Ettinger, 'This is a school that has confidence in the conviction of its educational offerings, taught with a truly individualised focus by an extraordinary and committed teaching staff. The approach fostered by a liberal education ensures that the interests, strengths, and ambitions of every pupil are granted equal weighting, whatever their passion may be. This is achieved by delivering more than just an expansion of knowledge through classroom study. We teach our pupils how to explore their subjects, give them the confidence to question their learning and, ultimately, the skillsets to achieve in any sphere, and at a level above that of which they thought themselves capable.'
