Facilities
The school has embarked on a series of building projects in the past fifteen years, beginning with the Art Department, the professional-standard Theatre at Headington (2002), Napier Boarding House (2003), a large Dining Hall (2005), and most recently the new Music School, which opened in 2009. These complement the original neo-Georgian senior school building constructed in the 1930s.
There are 23 acres of grounds and playing fields, tennis courts, swimming pool and a floodlit Astroturf pitch. The school also owns a boat club. It is one of the few schools in the country to offer equestrian facilities.
