Celebrating 150 Years of Educating Future Trailblazers

Since 1875, Oxford High School GDST has been more than just an educational institution—we’ve been nurturing future leaders and pioneers. As we commemorate our 150th anniversary, we celebrate a legacy of empowering young women to find their voices and become trailblazers in their chosen paths. 

We’re also looking towards the future by launching the 150th Anniversary Bursary Award Fund. This initiative aims to raise £150,000 to fund a full bursary for a deserving student, supporting her journey from year 7 to year 13 at Oxford High School GDST.

Why Bursary Awards Matter

A quality education is the foundation of a successful future. However, the cost of education can be a significant barrier for many talented and deserving students. Bursary awards bridge this gap, ensuring financial limitations don’t hinder academic potential.

Meet Zelah: Forging Her Path

At Oxford High School GDST, we believe in the power of education in transforming lives. Zelah, one of our bursary award holders, exemplifies the transformative opportunities an Oxford High Education can provide. 

We invite you to take a journey into Zelah’s world, and discover her incredible story…
