Headington School

Some of my friends say Headington School is a top school, some say it is overrated. Does anyone know anything about the school? Is it good?

Seems like a good school to me? I don't know much. Except what's on the website and that Emma Watson went there.

I know quite a few people who go there, it's a good school but probably not as academic as oxford high school. anything else you want to know?

Do you know anyone who got a sixth form scholarship there? Are the scholarship papers difficult?
the scholarship papers are quite like Geography exams so it helps a lot if u do Geog for GCSE. Theres an interview with the head of sixth form and the headmistress also.

Headington's a good school but it's average in terms of private schools. Oxford High and St Helen's & St Katherine's in Abingdon are better IMO. I went to Oxford High before my current school.
i see but my parents are looking for some boarding schools, are they boarding one? sorry that i dont have many ideas about schools cu i'm a foreign student. any recommnedations?
