Headington Rye Oxford has a rich history dating back to 1915.
At a time when few were thinking about the importance of educating girls, a group of evangelical Christians established a new school in Oxford, then known as Headington School. Rye St Antony School was founded by a pair of Oxford teachers in 1930 – Elizabeth Rendall and Ivy King – following a visit to St Anthony’s of Padua Church in Rye, East Sussex.
In September 2024, the two schools merged to become Headington Rye Oxford.
