Welcome to Admissions

There is no typical Headington Rye Oxford pupil and there is certainly no typical Headington Rye Oxford applicant! We welcome applications from girls from a huge range of different academic and cultural backgrounds into our Senior School, locally as day girls and from all over the world into our boarding community. We also welcome applications from girls and boys into our Prep School.
