Headington School Oxford

Headington School Oxford

Just minutes from the heart of historic Oxford, Headington School offers girls aged 11–18 a world-class UK boarding experience within a supportive, ambitious community. Named among the UK’s top private schools, Headington School Oxford provides a modern, forward-thinking environment designed for girls to thrive, in a location with centuries of educational heritage.

Empowerment & The Oxford Advantage

In our dynamic all-girls environment, every student leader, subject ambassador, and society head is a young woman. Free from traditional stereotypes, girls gain the confidence to challenge expectations and take calculated risks. Leveraging our Oxford location and strong academic connections, students benefit from regular access to University of Oxford academics, lectures and events, enriching their learning far beyond the classroom.

Multi-Disciplinary Excellence & Tailored Pathways

At Headington School Oxford, curiosity drives the curriculum and academic choice is a particular strength. With a 1:8 teacher-to-pupil ratio and more than 30 subjects available across GCSE and A Level, girls have considerable flexibility in shaping their studies. Timetables are built around individual subject choices wherever possible, while options such as the BTEC in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship offer an alternative to more traditional academic pathways.

Headington is nationally celebrated for supporting girls who excel across diverse fields simultaneously, whether pairing advanced mathematics with elite rowing, or mastering humanities alongside professional-standard performing arts. Specialist hubs like The Hive, our flagship Creativity and Innovation Centre, fuel this cross-disciplinary edge, allowing students to bridge robotics, AI, and creative engineering.
