Competitive sport
Girls from Headington Prep compete regularly in a wide range of local and regional inter-schools sports matches.
Our swimmers as well as our hockey, netball, rounders and athletics teams enjoy regular fixtures against our local prep schools, and girls from Headington Prep head to the IAPS athletics tournament each year.
