Headington School is a prestigious independent girls' school located in the Headington suburb of Oxford, England. Founded in 1916 by Elsie Redworth (later Hamilton), it began as a small boarding school and has evolved into a leading day and boarding school for girls aged 11-18, with an affiliated co-educational preparatory school, Headington Rye, for children aged 3-11. The school emphasizes academic excellence, offering A-Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme alongside strong extracurricular programs in arts, sports, and leadership development. It is known for educating prominent women in business, politics, and the arts, with notable alumni including former UK Prime Minister Theresa May and business leaders. The school operates on a 30-acre campus with modern facilities and maintains a reputation for progressive education while upholding traditional values. It promotes inclusivity and global citizenship through international enrollment and exchange programs. The school is led by headmistress Joanna Kellond-Villars (since 2019) and governed by a board of trustees, with tuition fees ranging approximately £15,000-£40,000 annually depending on boarding status. While the school itself has faced no major institutional scandals, some alumni like Ghislaine Maxwell have been associated with controversies, highlighting the diverse paths of its graduates.
