Rye St Antony School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rye St Antony School is an independent Roman Catholic boarding and day school for girls in Headington, Oxford, England.
The school is known as just "Rye" to its pupils and staff. It is situated behind Headington School, also an independent school for girls.
Despite holding Mass once a month, and being an openly Roman Catholic school, it is not necessary to be Roman Catholic to attend the school. There are in fact relatively few Roman Catholics at the school, pupils or teachers.
The school was founded by Elizabeth Rendall and Ivy King in 1930, after a visit to the Church of St Anthony in Rye in Sussex.
The school has a newsletter for pupils called the Rye Prospectus, which is run by a group of the girls and an English teacher.
The school has a lay chaplain available to pupils for spiritual counselling.
