Creating a sense of belonging, self-identity and self-worth are at the core of what we’re trying to achieve. We want to develop happy, grounded individuals.

Helping pupils to grow and flourish
From their first day, your child will discover a world of exciting possibilities – with no limits to what they can accomplish.
We recognise that the key to unlocking potential is about more than just great teaching, academic rigour and outstanding facilities. The atmosphere at Headington Rye Oxford Prep School is welcoming and relaxed; pupils are genuinely happy and have all the support they need to help them develop emotionally as well as academically.
We encourage pupils to try new experiences and embrace risk-taking in their learning and because staff know boys and girls as individuals, we can provide them with support personalised to their own needs.
Our emphasis on encouraging confident communication in the classroom means pupils are able to articulate thoughts and express feelings clearly from an early age. Weekly personal reflection periods give pupils time to consider performance and behaviour and our highly-experienced staff constantly monitor all aspects of their well-being.
As pupils begin to form their sense of self-identity, we help them navigate interpersonal relationships and nurture friendships for the future.
