Sixth Form Guide 2022-3

OXFORD AND SUMMERTOWN

Summertown is a highlight for pupils, especially in the Sixth Form when you will have free time to spend in the area, it is a great place to be. A lively urban village, so nearby it feels as if it’s part of the School. It has many big stores such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s and M&S, and lots of great local shops – including the fantastic Daunt Books, as well as restaurants (Burnout BBQ, Mamma Mia) and coffee shops galore. Oxford City Centre is a short bus ride away. It is a vibrant university city with shops, cinemas and plenty of places to eat, really useful shops like Boots, WH Smith, the famous Blackwell’s bookshop – and the new Westgate Centre, with its many retail and restaurant options. If art and culture are your thing, you will enjoy the Ashmolean, Modern Art Oxford, the Pitt Rivers and the Natural History Museum. And of course, the beautiful, historic University buildings

are well worth a visit and offer excellent inspiration for your future studies!
