Sport
At Headington Rye Oxford we firmly believe that Sport is for all. That means we offer performance training and strength coaching for our elite athletes along with a wide range of different sports clubs and teams for girls of all ages and abilities. There’s also the chance to take PE for both GCSE and A Level, or to study for a BTEC Diploma in Sport.
We recognise not every girl will enjoy team sports so make sure there are lots of different opportunities for healthy physical activity, from Cheerleading to Equestrian, from Fencing to Rock Climbing.
There are opportunities for every girl to improve, develop and excel and our ambition is for each girl to leave school having found a sport she loves.
