Overview

Wotton House International School Gloucestershire organises its education around personalisation. The school brings together Prep, Junior, Senior and Sixth Form stages, with the promise that a pupil's programme can be adjusted rather than forcing every learner through an identical route. Its character is international and small-scale, but the most distinctive feature is the effort to make the curriculum fit the individual.

In Years 10 and 11, pupils choose between the IB Middle Years Programme and the Composite IGCSE pathway. The two routes offer different balances of subject focus, inquiry and examination preparation, and the school allows elements to be adapted or blended where that better suits the learner. The MYP adds a Personal Project, Service as Action and deliberate work on research, collaboration, communication and self-management.

The Sixth Form continues that flexibility through a Trident approach which combines academic study, vocational relevance and character development. Students may combine up to three qualifications with enrichment, sport and private study, while International A levels and Cambridge Technicals sit alongside an Extended Project Qualification and a sustainability certificate. The HYPE model adds one remote learning day to four days in school, giving post-16 students a more flexible week without abandoning regular support.

The school is co-educational and non-boarding, with pupils ranging from five to 19 and a dedicated emphasis on additional needs. Its approach to SEN is not presented as a separate track: teaching can be adapted through extra challenge, different strategies or additional resources. That combination of age range, pathway choice and flexible Sixth Form design makes Wotton House a particularly individualised form of independent education in Gloucestershire.
