Senior and Sixth Form Entry

Senior School

For girls entering at 11+, 12+ and 13+, interviews are held in the autumn term prior to a girl's intended entry to the school. Interview day is a relaxed, informal occasion, giving girls the chance to see the school again and to meet other girls in their prospective year group, whilst giving staff the opportunity to get to know your daughter. If you have not visited the school by this point, please feel free to contact Admissions to arrange an appointment.

Entry to the school at 11+ and 13+ is by the ISEB Spring Common Entrance examination. Girls must be registered with the ISEB by 1st December of the year prior to entry. If your daughter attends an independent prep school, her school will typically arrange this registration. Those in the maintained sector must make their own entries; please contact Admissions for advice and details.

Girls entering at 12+ and 14+ sit the school's own examinations.

Senior School entrance examinations take place in January, and offers are made within three weeks of the examination date.

Sixth Form

Please note that Sixth Form entries for 2009 are now closed.

UK-based sixth form applicants sit examinations at Headington in the November before their proposed entry, and places will normally be offered in November. Interviews take place on the same day as the examinations. Girls proposing to join Headington in the sixth form will typically expect to gain a minimum of 6 GCSEs at grade A-B.

Overseas applicants

Please note that overseas Sixth Form entries for 2009 are now closed.

Overseas candidates must sit an examination for entry at any age, and this will incur a fee of £100. Where appropriate, an interview may also be arranged in the candidate's home country - please contact Admissions for details. Examination papers should be sent to the British Council or British Embassy, Education Department, who make a further small charge for this facility.

Overseas sixth form candidates will sit exams based on their proposed sixth form subjects, as well as an EFL paper if English is not their first language.
