Pastoral Care

These early years in which patterns of learning are established are the most influential of a child's school career, and is our belief that happy children thrive.

At Headington Prep, girls learn to value themselves as individuals and as members of a community. Helping them to develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and others is an integral part of all that we do. We encourage girls to be forward thinking and adaptable, and to become confident individuals with excellent social skills and strong global awareness.

The ability to communicate and build good relationships is an essential quality for a happy and fulfilled life. If children are respected, they respect others; if they are listened to, they will listen, and if they are treated with honesty, thoughtfulness and generosity they will respond in kind.

We value the involvement of parents in all areas of school life. Good communications, shared values, respect and understanding between school and home are vital elements in your daughter's education, and your input is always welcome.
