Be who you want to be

We’ve been educating girls since 1915, when a group of Christians had the then radical idea of setting up a school for girls. Today we are an academically-selective day and boarding school, welcoming girls from different backgrounds, cultures and countries. Wherever they are from, our aim is to give them the opportunities, support and confidence to have a rewarding and fulfilling life.

Opportunities for our girls are wide, in both our range of subjects and breadth of co-curricular activities. They get genuine support from both teachers and our experienced Pastoral Care team. Their confidence grows here naturally – as they explore and develop new skills.

Also central to Headington Rye Oxford is the quality and dedication of our teachers. We employ only the best, who are genuinely committed to girls’ development. Their enthusiasm for their subjects is infectious and spreads from teachers to girls. Our strong focus on creativity and creative thinking will encourage your daughter to approach things differently, to come up with her own solutions and to follow a path which suits both her academic aspirations and satisfies her natural curiosity and passions.

We want your daughter to leave here ready for her future, whatever it may bring, and we will equip her with the skills she needs - both those learned inside and outside the classroom - to step forward confidently for the next stage of her educational journey.

Your daughter’s all-round development, her welfare, wellbeing and future once they leave the School are central to our ethos. By creating a happy environment, learning is easier, more enjoyable – and leads to the excellent results your daughter deserves.
