Overview
Overview
Tudor Hall makes discovery the organising idea, with day pupils and boarders moving through a girls' education shaped by curiosity, practical study and close pastoral support. At Wykham Park near Banbury, the route includes a Sixth Form and entry points at 11+, 13+ and 16+.
Years 7 to 9 bring core subjects, humanities, arts and practical study into one exploratory curriculum. At GCSE, every pupil takes English Language and Literature and Mathematics, chooses Dual or Triple Science, and adds four subjects from a broad offer. Food and nutrition, drama, music, ceramics, textiles, sport and outdoor education give the programme a creative, hands-on edge.
Sixth Form students can choose from 29 A-level and equivalent qualifications, including the Extended Project Qualification and a Leiths Certificate in Professional Cookery. Inglis and Ashtons provide a shared base for day and boarding girls, with a pastoral team connected to the wider academic and co-curricular life.
The admissions route includes entrance assessments and a meeting with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. Scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+, alongside means-tested bursaries and a Sixth Form bursary fund. Boarding sits within the same community as lessons, activities and academic support.
