Flexibility

We don’t take a one size fits all approach to boarding at Headington Rye Oxford because we know all our families have different needs.

Around one in four of our Senior School girls is a boarder and they come to Headington Rye Oxford from the UK, Europe and all over the world. The numbers grow as you go up the School, with a junior boarding house of 30 for our Year 7 to 9 girls, two houses for the middle years and a Sixth Form house. Our boarding options could be the solution to a lengthy and tiring commute, a way of allowing your daughter to take full part in some of the myriad activities and sports offered at Headington without having to deal with very early starts and late finishes, or a chance to experience a first-rate education in inspirational Oxford, often thousands of miles from home.

While full boarding continues to be our most popular option, the opportunity to board on an occasional, half-weekly or weekly basis means our close-knit community of boarders is really diverse and provides lots of opportunities for our day girls and boarders to come together and make lasting friendships.
