Boarding

Miss Tanya Lee
Head of Boarding 

Boarding at Headington is all about choice and flexibility. No matter whether you join our boarding community in the Prep School or in the Sixth Form; whether you choose to stay with us all week or drop in for a night now and then, you will find a warm welcome in our four friendly boarding houses.

Girls board at Headington from the age of nine, and the boarding community plays a key role in school life. Life as a boarder provides girls with a secure environment in which they learn to become individuals, embracing the values of trust and mutual respect upon which our international boarding community is founded. Long lasting friendships grow, giving girls the cross-cultural links which are so essential to life.

As Head of Boarding I have the whole overview of the boarding community at Headington. I appreciate that the needs of parents and their daughters are different and that each family’s requirements are unique. My experienced team of Housemistresses, Matrons and boarding staff are committed to ensuring that boarding at Headington is a happy and fulfilling experience for every girl and her family.
