Oxford High Prep School A Global Education for a Changing World At Oxford High School Prep, we welcome girls from all over the world. But we also prepare girls for a world that is changing more rapidly than ever.

All girls learn Mandarin from Reception, and our new Global Studies programme introduces girls to a different country and culture each term, including the fundamentals of language, custom and geography. As a result, each girl is steeped in an appreciation of what it is to be a truly global learner from her first year with us. Fearless, creative and academic, our girls love learning and each day affords new opportunities to learn through a combination of imaginative play and a challenging curriculum. Add to this our membership of the Girls’ Day School Trust, a family of twenty-five girls schools located all across the UK, and every girl can look forward to a future based on collaboration, kindness and unparalleled opportunity.

Abingdon Prep School Recently, we had two very special visitors to the Art department at Abingdon Prep - ‘Twoo’ the tawny owl and ‘Megatron’ the southern white-faced owl. These beautiful birds provided the inspiration for some fantastic artwork from the boys in Year 5 who drew the owls, paying close attention to the textures and facial details, in preparation for making sculptures.

The Year 8 boys also thoroughly enjoyed their latest project where they explored architecture and painted a selection of industrial landscapes inspired by L.S Lowry. The project culminated in a whole class mural, where the boys used photography to put themselves into the artwork. Striking a Lowry pose caused much hilarity, but achieving a sense of perspective in such a large composition was rather more challenging. The finished product was a masterpiece! Come and see our art department and all that Abingdon Prep has to offer. Book a visit at: abingdon.org.uk/prep
