It works so well for our family. We are really enjoying the Wolsey Hall…
We are really enjoying the Wolsey Hall experience! It’s so professionally run and the course work is fun and engaging. The tutors are all superb and so encouraging. Our daughter is new to the UK curriculum having been home schooled in Portugal all of her life. (By law she had to follow the Portuguese curriculum) she’s absorbing the content so fast and still has lots of free time for her ballet and farm animals.

Best Online School for Independent Learners
Our family's experience with Wolsey Hall has been exceptionally great. SPM Chris and tutor Sara were very supportive, responsive, and professional. The school's style of instruction has helped improve my son's ability to learn independently, seek out and filter information well, and develop critical thinking. We highly recommend Wolsey Hall.

Excellent
Wolsey Hall Oxford has been a fantastic experience for my daughters. They did one year in primary during COVID, and my eldest daughter re-enrolled in Year 9. She found studying independently and at her own pace more constructive. She has also acquired many skills that have assisted her learning. The resources provided are varied and abundant and the tutors are professional and competent. Our Student Progress Manager was extremely supportive and continued to motivate my daughter throughout the year. We will be continuing with Wolsey Hall Oxford for the IGSCE courses. It has made a huge difference in my daughter’s learning and I am very satisfied with the results.

Professional, well-oiled institution
Wolsey is a highly professional institution that has clearly been operating for decades. The support, when needed, is always good. The course design and content is excellent, and makes the various subjects interesting. The tutor support is very helpful. We also appreciated the University Advice section of the school

Wolsey Hall provided the perfect balance of support and independent learning for my daughter, this has given her confidence in her own abilities with the safety net there when she needed it. Wolsey Hall is very professional and well organised. I was concerned about finding exam centres and getting the codes right when entering my daughter for her IGCSE’s but it was all made very straight forward by the Wolsey team, I couldn’t fault them.

A Very Positive View of Wolsey Hall Education
I am delighted to provide a positive report on my daughter's two-year study experience for the IGCSE at Wolsey Hall. Several key factors throughout her journey contributed to an enriching and successful educational experience. Flexibility of Programs: One of the standout features of Wolsey Hall's programs is their flexibility. This aspect was invaluable for my daughter, allowing her to tailor her study schedule to fit around her other commitments and interests. The ability to work at her own pace ensured that she could fully engage with the material without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Quality of Written Feedback and Further Reading Suggestions: The quality of the staff at Wolsey Hall, particularly in providing written feedback and suggesting further reading, was exceptional. Her tutors' detailed and constructive feedback helped her improve her understanding of the subject matter and encouraged her to delve deeper into the topics covered. The additional reading suggestions were instrumental in broadening her knowledge and enhancing her learning experience. Professional Support from Student Progress Manager: The role of the Student Progress Manager cannot be overstated in its importance within the school. Their professional support and guidance were invaluable throughout my daughter's studies. From providing academic advice to offering pastoral care, the Student Progress Manager played a crucial role in ensuring that my daughter felt supported and motivated to succeed. Development of Valuable Life Skills: Wolsey Hall provided a solid academic foundation and helped my daughter develop essential life skills such as time management and online meeting planning. These skills have proven invaluable as she prepares for her next steps in education and beyond. Overall, my daughter's experience at Wolsey Hall has been overwhelmingly positive. The program's flexibility, the staff's quality in providing written feedback and suggesting further reading, and the professional support provided by the Student Progress Manager have all contributed to her academic success and personal growth. I cannot thank Wolsey Hall enough for their dedication to providing a top-quality education and supporting my daughter every step of the way.

Great experience
We are now for 6 months with Woolsey, and it.s been a great experience. The tutors are very helpfull and professional, the feedback they offer is great opportunity for my son to improve. The lessons are very dymanic, using manuals, short videos, exercises and other resources. The flexibility of the program is another great point for us. We can travel and also have our lessons done. If my son was ill with a flu and we are late with our assignments, our student manager just adviced how to deal with it the best way. All in one we are very happy. Many thanks Woolsey Hall.

Wolsey Hall Oxford is highly recommended!

Quality curriculum and excellent support
We started homeschooling my 9 year old daughter 3 years ago, the last year with Wolsey Hall. We chose homeschooling for flexibility and the freedom to choose subjects and curriculums. We enrolled in Wolsey Hall initially for French and computing for assistance with lesson content and Geography and Science for convenience. The Wolsey Hall lesson plans and method of teaching was a good fit. Canvas is user friendly and the on the go accessibility a great advantage. The lesson plans is easy to follow, of excellent quality and the programs structured but still flexible enough in terms of scheduling. I found the feedback so useful that we enrolled for English and Maths as well later in the year. Our student progress manager and tutors are supportive, accessible and professional. My daughter finds the lesson content interesting and the constructive and positive way in which assignment feedback is given, encouraging. We feel supported on our homeschooling journey and enjoy learning with Wolsey Hall.

An exceptional homeschooling provider!
I am so glad that we chose Wolsey Hall Oxford as our homeschooling provider and I would not consider another one. When my child decided to move to homeschooling we selected a number of subjects with Wolsey Hall but had a few with another homeschooling provider. At the end of the first year we had enough experience to be able to compare the two providers and the difference between them was striking. Wolsey Hall outperformed in every possible way. With Wolsey Hall your child gets: - progress manager who is there to support both the student and the parent. Our progress manager has been absolutely amazing in helping my daughter stay on track with her assignment schedule, to adjust the latter whenever needed, to be able to raise concerns at the right moment and time in a very professional manner and yet able to recognise good achievements and congratulate both parents and student. - a very professional tutor for each subject. Tutors are very approachable, your child can email/message them through the online platform used whenever they need additional support. As a parent you automatically receive copies of all such correspondence. The speed of assignments reviews is impressive, but more so is the structured feedback, with a lot of detail, explanation and further guidance whilst it never feels criticising for the student and always recognising the good points and achievements! We never got such structured feedback on assignments from state schools. It is the feedback that actually makes the assignments useful and helpful in the studying process - assignment schedule, designed with the particular requirements and plans of your child. Adjustable if plans/circumstances change but always made in a way to ensure your child completes all work on time and has plenty of time for revisions before exams. - information and guidance for sitting exams as private student. I had no clue where to begin from when my daughter's GCSE exams were approaching but at exactly the right time admin support sent emails containing everything I needed to know. So whilst Wolsey Hall do not organise the exams for you you are still supported though the process. - a lot of written and webinar based support and information for A levels, how to chose the right one for you depending on future plans. A lot of advice is also provided for university applications - additional online resources for your child to use free of charge - an online chat room for your child to connect with other Wolsey Hall students should they wished to do so - occasionally challenges/competitions are set for your child to take part should they wish to- - all textbooks and materials needed for the course are provided to your child, postage organised by Wolsey Hall - the website is very easy to use with prices very well explained with no hidden costs if yo choose Wolsey Hall you will get the private school level of support without breaking the bank. It is very good value for money service.

We have been very much blessed by our experience with Wolsey Hall Oxford since our beginning right up until the time we had to part ways. We received a service and support which was very much of a professional and international standard. Our journey was made extra special by the dedicated and special care we received from Teacher Kate Speechley (Student Tutor) whom had provided us with excellent feedback and guidance related to areas of development for our daughter. The timely reminders and updates from Francesca Provensca (Student Progress Manager) has always ensured that we kept good progress and assisted us in being able to manage a flexible family life due to the season we were transitioning through as a family. The willingness to meet with us as a family periodically to discuss our daughter's academic needs and progress is very much appreciated and commendable. We will be forever grateful for the educational foundation which had been laid with the guidance and support of Wolsey Hall Oxford. May you as an organisation go from strength to strength. Much love and blessings. The Bosman family.

Consistently efficient and professional
My son completed year 8 courses with Wolsey Hall and my daughter did 6 subjects at IGCSE level. We have been delighted by the amazingly efficient and professional service provided by Wolsey Hall, and the level of learning. We have had experience with other home school providers, and the kids have friends studying through other platforms and they simply do not compare. We were hugely appreciative of the consistent support and encouragement we got from our student progress managers (Jennie and then Angela). We also really like the balance that Wolsey Hall strike between conventional textbook learning and digital content. Both my kids were delighted to consistently recieve marks in the 80's and 90's, and my daughter is delighted with A's in her first two subjects written at IGCSE (English lang and lit), she found she was well prepared by the courses, and that her course work was suitably challenging that the exams were if anything comparatively slightly easier. A big thankyou to the teachers and SPM's for everything!! From the Pascoe Family

Best place to start your home schooling journey
This is our second year with Wolsey Hall and our experience is really positive from day one. I can clearly see my kids are showing a huge improvement and progressing well. I am really grateful for our student progress managers Ms.Tara and Ms. Rechell for their continuous support and all the teachers who are incredibly professional and friendly. We always get timely responses from them whenever we need assistance. Their feedback on assignments are detailed and helps a lot to improve. All the courses are well structured and easy to follow. Lots of extra resources and subscriptions which keep the kids engaged. I will not think twice to recommend Wolsey Hall to anyone.

It works perfectly for a family that wants to have high quality studies at home, leading their children's learning.
Wolsey Hall works for any family with a desire to lead the educational process of their children. You will find in the Wolsey Hall team, spectacular professionals, who give you a unique level of attention but always from the place of support. It is a school that promotes order, high student participation in their learning, and finally with an amazing rigor.

Recommend Wolsey 100%
From my daughter's point of view in her words: I’ve been with Wolsey Hall for two years – previously I used a different program to homeschool – and am now starting iGCSEs and the experience has been excellent. Everything is well organized and highly professional, making it easy to work, and the tutors are extremely friendly and helpful. Wolsey’s program ensures that you learn to work independently and manage your time by yourself, very important skills to acquire early. Most importantly for me, however, is that Wolsey makes schooling enjoyable. By structuring their courses the way they do, and giving students a degree of freedom to find what works for them, Wolsey allows the fun of learning to prevail. I have fun with school – and if you enjoy learning, you automatically learn better! All in all, I would not hesitate to immediately recommend Wolsey to anyone, provided they are willing to self-motivate. From a parent’s point of view: I am absolutely thrilled with the way Wolsey is doing the courses. Everything is clearly explained, excellently structured and the tutors are highly qualified, extremely helpful and professional. We have never had any problems and the feedback is always detailed and easy to understand. The same goes for any other staff, starting from the administrative staff who make the enrolling process very easy, the finance department and of course the student progress manager. We had several changes in our schedule over the years due to moving or spontaneous holidays, it was never a problem and Jessie, our student progress manager, thank you, has always responded quickly and accommodated our needs. Our daughter has learned to work independently and, as she said above, enjoys school. That for me says it all, what better recommendation is there? I do think it is important that as a parent you get involved to a certain extent, even if it is just to help with keeping on track or bouncing ideas. I also want to address the one issue that keeps coming up with prospective homeschoolers: the worry of parents that their children have no social interactions, which I had in the beginning as well. For us that worked out, my daughter dances 4 times a week and has a lot of social contacts. For those who don’t have that opportunity, Wolsey has an online student forum and several online activities to cover that side as well, which I have not seen from other homeschooling providers and find absolutely brilliant. I would 100% recommend Wolsey to anyone who thinks about a different and individual approach to learning and have done so in person to several friends.

Wolsey Hall - an outstanding online school
My son has just started his second year with Wolsey Hall and completed 3 IGCSE's in one year, all of which he passed with very good grades. He will continue with a further 4 subjects this year. His tutors have been incredible, their feedback is swift, thorough and professional, and they all make a huge effort to ensure that my son is supported throughout the assignments. All learning material is of an exceptional standard. His Student Progress Manager, Juliet Franks, is absolutely amazing! Her attention to detail and continued assistance has been greatly appreciated and we are delighted to have her continued support. My son hopes to complete his A Levels with WH in the future, we wouldn't consider anywhere else! Thank you Wolsey Hall.

Wolsey Hall - highly recommend
My son has been with Wolsey Hall now for 3 years. We have found them to be very professional and the tutors to be of a high standard. Communication is always easy and their response is always prompt. I can highly recommend Wolsey Hall to anyone looking for an online school for their children.

A well structured and enjoyable learning process.
We wanted a GCSE course subject that was not available at our son's school and so approached Wolsey Hall Oxford. We are extremely happy with both the course and even more happy about the result: a 9! Communication was always swift and professional, the skype tutoring sessions (Modern Foreign Languages) were focused and thorough, and the deadlines for submission of assessments were clear and easy to plan ahead and work towards. We would certainly approach Wolsey Hall again for other subjects and/or other siblings.

Wolsey is a valuable training tool for children's life
Wolsey is a valuable training tool for my children. The courses are really well structured with a lot of resources to make study fun and motivating. The teachers, especially Jane and Sarah (math and english KS3) and Jo (math KS2) are competent and available. Very precious for us is the high professional skills of our manager Cathe. Without her collaboration would be difficult for people like us who are non- English to organize the course of study in a profitable way. Finally we appreciated the complementary activities such as Fit for Future and chess club organized by Wolsey. They are very engaging and allow children to feel part of an inclusive community. Great experience
