We want our children to become confident and curious thinkers, able to explain their ideas, listen carefully to others, and take responsibility for themselves and their community. There is no rush towards adulthood. Childhood matters, and we value it for what it is, not simply as preparation for what comes next.
Bertrand Leullier, Head of Prep
The best start in life
Welcome to Headington Rye Oxford Prep School – a safe and nurturing environment for your child's first steps in education.
Your child will love coming to school every day. It’s somewhere exciting and fun, where pupils gain knowledge, happy memories and make wonderful friendships that will last a lifetime.
As they progress through the School, they will discover new experiences and opportunities, new subjects and interests to feed even the most curious mind.
Your child will learn from first-rate teachers, experts in their subject areas, who will help draw out talent, challenge and support the pupils to realise their full potential – without pressure, so they can enjoy the experience.
From the outset, we will encourage your child to throw themselves into school life and will instill in them our core values: to be kind to others and themselves, to aim high and to have the confidence to take risks in learning.
The School is underpinned by Christian principles but we welcome children of all faiths or none.
