Aims and Ethos


WHAT MAKES A HEADINGTON GIRL?

Curious and creative,
confident yet collaborative,
always compassionate and
definitely courageous.


CURIOUS

She is curious about the world around her with a natural passion to find out
things for herself. She seeks out further information in areas which interest
her and extends her learning beyond the classroom.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * offering opportunities, right through the School, for girls to make their own
   choices about the activities in which they engage including the chance to
   take the HPQ or EPQ
 * investigating individual areas of scientific inquiry
 * providing a broad and diverse programme of trips and activities that
   encourage girls to engage in the world around them
 * being alive to the plethora of different career paths and life choice


CREATIVE

She is a highly-motivated creative thinker who approaches problems from a fresh
perspective, looking beyond the obvious and bringing in her experience and
learning from other disciplines to make connections.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * offering a range of opportunities for open-ended projects and learning
   opportunities beyond the classroom. These include, for example; robotics,
   coding, and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme
 * providing opportunities to create their own work and share it, through
   musical and theatrical performances, creative writing
 * involving girls behind the scenes in technical drama and musical performances
 * nurturing learners who take risks, view errors as central to the learning
   process and produce solutions and ideas that are original and valuable
 * directly challenging pupils to think about thinking and develop awareness of
   their own approach to problem solving


CONFIDENT

She is a confident, independent thinker, comfortable in social and professional
situations and new environments, able to interact with new people and to take
the lead where appropriate.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * encouraging girls to push their boundaries on challenging local and
   international activities and trips
 * generating opportunities for lively and informed academic debate and
   discussion with boys and girls from other local schools
 * providing opportunities to meet external speakers, to engage in academic
   debate with those out of their peer groups
 * hosting and presenting to external visitors
 * taking leadership roles such as form and sports captains, environmental
   council, prefect and student leader roles


COLLABORATIVE

A Headington girl is a truly collaborative individual with a range of
interpersonal skills enabling her to work with and from others.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * leveraging digital classroom solutions to facilitate collaborative learning
   in lessons and beyond
 * offering a broad co-curricular programme with activities that encourage and
   reward good teamwork
 * encouraging collaborative project work
 * working as a team to lead house events


COMPASSIONATE

She is a caring individual with a strong sense of empathy, aware of her social
responsibilities, She values cultural, ethnic and religious diversity and the
richness this brings.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * overarching Christian ethos reflected through prayers and assemblies,
   chaplaincy programme and other events
 * supporting and encouraging pupil-led committees such as the charity and
   eco-committees and giving them the opportunity to make real difference to the
   way the School works
 * advocating for equality and Global issues
 * developing Emotional Intelligence through PSHE and similar form time
   activities
 * providing strong peer role models and being consistent in our application of
   school rules and values


COURAGEOUS

She will approach new situations in the knowledge that if her first solution
does not succeed, she will know how to regroup and try again. She will have a
sense of adventure, be prepared to take appropriate risk and ready to ask
difficult questions.




SOME OF THE WAYS WE DO THIS:

 * normalising of failure, addressing the subject in assemblies and adopting
   positive language in discussions around failure, both in the classroom and
   beyond
 * offering the opportunity to take part in trips and activities including
   Combined Cadet Force and Duke of Edinburgh Awards, in addition to regular
   competitive team and individual sport activities
 * encouraging girls to share their views by publishing articles on
   controversial and topical subjects
 * allowing individuals to challenge the conventional stereotypes and advocate
   for change
