BOARDING

Mrs Rahmatallah
Head of Boarding
Boarding at Headington Rye Oxford is a fantastic way to really take advantage of everything the School has to offer, from evening sessions in our gym or pool, to special-themed dinners, House trips away and treat nights. Our boarders form special relationships with their house families and often make friends for life.
Our five houses will provide a home from home for your daughter. Each house caters for different age ranges and allows girls to take on different roles as they progress through the School.
Parents are always welcome to visit one of our houses to meet our wonderful boarding staff and to experience the unique identity of each House. Please do get in touch if you wish to explore boarding at Headington Rye Oxford further. If you’re about to join us, I look forward to meeting you soon!

Boarding options
We offer different boarding options to suit your family's needs, including full, weekly, half weekly and occasional boarding.

Changing Boarder status
All changes to day/boarding status (changes between day, half-weekly, weekly or full boarding) must be done through the Head of Boarding.

Parental permission for boarders' activities
We provide a full programme of activities for boarders and ask that parents grant permission for girls to go to lectures, plays, concerts and to the cinema on organised school trips.

Storage
We work with School Trunk, a specialist school storage company, to provide a holiday storage service for our pupils.

Child student visas
Headington Rye Oxford is partnered with a specialist immigration law firm, Newland Chase Education, to ensure that all visa arrangements are dealt with accurately and in good time.

Boarding guardians for overseas boarders
If you live overseas, your daughter must have a boarding guardian in the UK, whatever her age.
