Values
Headington Rye Oxford is dynamic institution, with roots as Headington since 1915 and from Rye St Antony since 1930. Both schools were founded to offer children a contemporary education fit to prepare them for the world at the time. Today, as Headington Rye Oxford, our pupils face very different challenges and here they develop the thinking skills, creativity and problem-solving skills to help them succeed in life. We aspire for our pupils to be fully prepared to take on the challenges they may face and to thrive, wherever life takes them.
We provide the best possible environment for teaching and learning through first-class resources and facilities, encouraging academic rigour, independence and initiative at all ages. We are committed to enabling every pupil to flourish and thrive, whatever their background. We will support your child to grow and develop as an individual, achieving their potential beyond their – and your – expectations.
Ethos
Happy children thrive
Headington Rye Oxford Prep School is a happy place where we know and value each pupil as an individual. We introduce pupils to a wealth of experiences, discovering and developing individual interests and enthusiasms, playing to their strengths and celebrating them so that they flourish.
Our aim is to provide an outstanding education with wide-ranging opportunities which satisfy the pupils’ natural curiosity and passions. We encourage them to take risks and to embrace the learning opportunities, from experiencing failure within a supportive environment to welcoming problem-solving opportunities which can be unravelled by thinking critically and creatively and working collaboratively with others.
There is a strong sense of community at Headington Rye Oxford Prep School. Our pupils form lasting friendships and develop excellent social and communication skills. They are encouraged to think of others and make a positive contribution to their community and environment whilst also developing a global awareness.
This ethos is encompassed by our school mascot Edwina Bear.
