The whole ORA team here at Yarnton Manor is gearing up with excitement anticipation to receive students and parents this afternoon. Incoming students are about to embark on a unique summer experience at Yarnton Manor, Oxford Royale Academy’s very own 17th-century manor house. They will be guided, challenged and inspired by our world-class team of teachers, as they set about getting to grips with computer code, and preparing for further study in Engineering, Law and Medicine.

Then, when lessons are done each day, our friendly and supportive team of Junior Deans and Counsellors will lead students in a fantastic range of excursions and social activities. Particular events to look forward to this Session are trips to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of England’s proudest treasure, William Shakespeare; scavenger hunts and historical tours in the city of Oxford; an excursion to London, where students are sure to be thrilled at Thriller Live; and mid-session and graduation parties in the themes of Narnia and Medieval Circus.

Alongside all this, students can be sure that they will forge lasting friendships and connections with their classmates. Living and learning so closely with one another makes for the ideal opportunity for students to make intellectual and personal bonds to carry with them into future studies and experiences.
