Congratulations to Year 13 student Malavika on being awarded a GDST Travel Scholarship. Here, she shares her exciting plans for the trip and how she sees the experience shaping her future.
This Travel Scholarship scheme is just one example of how our students are encouraged to explore the world beyond the classroom - and we couldn’t be prouder of Malavika for making the most of this opportunity.

When it comes to special moments, it’s hard to top the sight of more than 100 alumnae walking through the gates of Oxford High - once an everyday routine, now a heartfelt homecoming. 🌻
From the Class of 2021 through to the Class of 1956, an incredible 70 years of former students attended - a true celebration of Oxford High through the ages and the enduring sisterhood that binds our community together. The school was abuzz with laughter and smiles as alumnae reminisced, shared memories, and reconnected with old friends and favourite teachers.
A wonderful reminder of the lasting impact our school community can have throughout our students’ time at school and far beyond.

After Oxford High School topped Oxfordshire’s GCSE results in 2025, we asked Head Marina Gardiner Legge for the revision advice that actually works.
Her top tips? Little and often beats last-minute panic. Put the phone out of reach. Swap passive reading for flashcards, quizzes and practice questions. And parents: calm support wins over constant checking.
