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.
