The Oratory School is an independent Roman Catholic boarding and day school for boys aged 11 to 18 in Woodcote, Oxfordshire, England. Founded in 1859 by Cardinal John Henry Newman, it has historical ties to, but is not officially affiliated with fellow Oratorian schools, the London Oratory School and the Brompton Oratory in London. Although a separate entity from the nearby Oratory Preparatory School, it shares a board of governors and a common history.
