CURRICULUM
It’s an exciting time to be a young person. Every student at Oxford High School is encouraged to reach her academic potential, to develop agility of thought and to find her own voice.
We see it as our job to ensure that, during her time with us, every girl is empowered with the support and encouragement to answer that call. By getting to know them well and supporting them both academically and pastorally, we discover how to harness those dreams and ideas so that, when she leaves, each girl feels ready to change the world so as to reflect her vision.
There are many ways in which we seek to enrich the quality of school life here at OHS – through our pastoral programme and PSHCE initiatives, by inviting fascinating guest speakers to talk about real, relevant issues, through team-building House activities such as our annual Colour Run, by weaving careers advice seamlessly into the curriculum from Year 7 onwards, or by charity initiatives such as ‘sponge the teacher’ events – the list goes on.
Life At Oxford High School
Our friendly team are always on hand to answer your questions, arrange a personal visit or find you the ideal person with whom to speak about your daughter.
So don’t hesitate to get in touch – we really do love to hear from you.

Senior School
Oxford High School has been educating brilliant, fearless and outspoken students since 1875. It is a tradition we maintain to this day through inspiring teaching, a rich co-curricular programme and a warm, collegiate community of pupils, teachers and parents.
As leaders in girls’ education, Oxford High School provides a world-class educational experience for all our students. Crucial to this is the pursuit of academic excellence, including but going well beyond outstanding examination results, as each girl is empowered with a deep love of learning and agile critical-thinking skills.
Our vision is of a curriculum that inspires as well as challenges, and it is a hallmark of an Oxford High School education that students approach new knowledge with assurance and skill.
OHS Originals
Since the school’s establishment in 1875, countless remarkable women have been educated here at Oxford High. On this page, you can learn about some of our best-known alumnae, from Dame Maggie Smith to Dame Cressida Dick.
Curriculum & Co-Curriculum
The OHS Curriculum has been formulated to create a learning experience that inspires as well as challenges at every stage and juncture of a girl’s academic career.
Our vision is for an education that discovers girls’ strengths and passions and empowers them, whilst simultaneously equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to flourish in their onward education.
