Our history
Headington School has a rich history, established in 1915 founded by a group of evangelical Christians to provide "a sound education for girls to fit them for the demands and opportunities likely to arise after the war". The School began at Headington Lodge on Osler Road with just ten boarding and eight-day girls.
