Results / Exam centre…

The results our young people gain are all the more remarkable because they are achieved positively, without cramming. Students are not ‘steered’ towards or away from subjects in order to improve our overall results, they are instead free to choose their subjects based on their interests. Furthermore, the wide range in ability from year to year is a wonderful testament to the dedication of our students’ achievements.

OMS Approach / Essentials

• Our pupils achieve great results, self motivated of their own volition

• Students take the bulk of their exams in the May/June examination session, but some are also taken in November or January to spread out examinations rather than cramming everything into the final term at school.

• Exam rooms are light, airy and comfortable, designed to put students at ease.

• The approach is as informal as we can make it.

• OMS is accredited by both the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
