At Oxford High Prep School, we welcome girls with innovative minds who are enthusiastic to learn, imagine, explore and care for the world around them. We believe in our children, understand that they are passionate about learning and also eager to take risks.

Beginning the Admissions Process

Choosing a suitable school is a thoughtful process and one that is unique to every family. This is why we offer personal tours from Reception to Year 6, alongside our termly Open Mornings. We believe it is the best way to experience the school day and to get a proper feel of what the school is like from the pupils themselves.

We recommend applying as early as possible in the year preceding entry. The first step is to complete our online application form here.
