Makers of The Curious
At Oxford High School GDST, we believe that education is about so much more than academic success. It’s about helping every student become the very best version of themselves: confident, curious, compassionate and ready to thrive in a changing world.
Limitless Learning
Our Senior School curriculum encourages girls to think critically, explore ideas deeply and pursue their passions with confidence.
Alongside a broad and balanced academic programme, Oxford High School offers exceptional breadth in languages, with eight modern and classical languages available, and a particular strength in medical sciences and technology. Opportunities such as the GDST Space Technology Diploma give our students the chance to apply their learning in real world contexts.
Across English, creative arts and humanities, our students consistently achieve national recognition. For example, winning the Tower Poetry Prize out of more than 1,200 entries, beating 3,000 teams in the UK’s flagship cyber security contest, and presenting extended research projects on topics as varied as Ovid’s poetry, political philosophy, and the ethics of AI.
Our students don’t just study innovation, they lead it: in 2025, our student-led team became the only European finalists in the prestigious Conrad Challenge, and successfully pitched their ideas at Space Center Houston. Whether through science, literature, history, or languages, Oxford High School students combine rigour with originality and make their mark on the world.
Preparing her for Life
With a rich curriculum, outstanding teaching, and over 100 co-curricular clubs and enrichment opportunities, students are encouraged to explore their passions and develop new talents. Whether it’s through drama, sport, science, music or activism, every student has the opportunity to shine.
Our award-nominated Life Ready Toolkit is at the heart of our pastoral care. It equips students with the emotional intelligence, resilience and life skills they need to flourish both in school and beyond. From 1:1 mentoring and student-led initiatives to wellness weeks, leadership opportunities and real-world learning, we prepare students not just for exams, but for life.
Where every Voice Matters
We’re a community where individuality isn’t just accepted, it’s championed. Here, students are encouraged to question, discover, and speak up. We celebrate difference, nurture bold ideas, and foster a culture where every voice matters.
Our approach is personal. With small tutor groups and strong staff-student bonds, every student is truly seen and supported. Character matters as much as achievement: we reward courage, curiosity, respect, and commitment, because we know these are the qualities that shape fearless futures.
