Welcome to Futures Institute Banbury, a small school by design, located in a region that is home to world-famous employers at the leading edge of engineering and technology. As parents/carers, you will be looking to give your talented children the best chance to succeed in later life.
Come to study with us and you will have unparalleled access to a range of local employers through a wide and innovative range of curriculum links and projects.
Our goal is to become the premier educational provider in the wider region for those with a deep interest and aptitude in maths, technology, computing and science and their application in the real world. We will equip your child with not only the academic qualifications needed to gain a foothold in the world of work but also the “power skills” that employers are increasingly demanding from their workforce.
Our core projects give the students the chance to work in teams, develop creativity and communicate with a range of audiences, whilst tackling real-life problems. In addition, our extensive enrichment programme provides students with regular interactions with the world of technology and employment, exposing them to the myriad of opportunities available within this broad and exciting sector.
Our curriculum includes core project lessons that demand students to manage their own learning whilst developing essential employability skills. Our approach will suit those who are looking to take more responsibility for their learning; who are able to adapt and be resilient when faced when challenges; and who are keen to work in collaboration with others and prepare for the world of work.
We are incredibly proud of the destinations of our alumni which include apprenticeships at companies such as Airbus, GCHQ, Collins Aerospace and Jaguar Land Rover, as well as top-level Universities.
If you have a child who is looking to push their own boundaries when it comes to maths, technology, computing and science; who is interested in applying their learning in real-life contexts; and who aspires to be one of the next generation of industrial leaders and pioneers we are the school for them.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school to meet our wonderful students and staff and to see the range of exciting and innovative experiences we offer.
