As with other GDST schools, it aims to be an educational institution that shows principles, boldness, a strong network community and a girls-first attitude.
ISI
“The quality of pupils’ achievements is exceptional. Oxford High School is highly successful in meeting its aim to encourage girls to be ambitious in all areas of life and has fully met the recommendation from the previous inspection to maintain the high standards of learning and personal development. Pupils reach very high standards in their GCSE, International GCSE and A-level examinations and in the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), and most are successful in achieving their first choice of course at highly selective universities.”
