Welcome to the Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust (ODST).

At ODST, our vision and values underpin what we believe and how we strive to work together through meaningful collaboration and a shared common purpose.

ODST was founded in 2012 by the Diocese of Oxford out of a commitment to excellent education for all, and has now grown into a large family serving thousands of pupils, their families and communities across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Windsor and Maidenhead.

By building effective relationships across the trust, schools benefit from our positive partnership approach which also incorporates a belief in valuing individual identity and serving its local community.

We believe

• our schools are at the heart of their local community
• in working together for meaningful collaboration and partnership
• that service, stewardship and inclusion run through every aspect of school life
• in developing and growing our staff so that everyone feels valued and has a shared responsibility for educational quality and outcomes.

ODST is a place where all are welcome; for both CofE schools and community schools, for staff and pupils of all faiths and none, where we strive for academic excellence and where pupils and staff are enabled, valued and encouraged to become outward-looking, resilient learners and professionals.
