Teaching Staff

OBH accepts children with a broad range of abilities across the many varied activities which are offered. From academic studies and sport, to music, art and drama, the school provides encouragement for every child to achieve his or her full potential – to be the best they can be.

We aim to fulfill these expectations so that pupils leave their School feeling good about themselves – confident, well mannered and well-equipped to face life beyond OBH.
