Abingdon Prep School is a day school for children aged 4 to 13. The two schools together make up the Abingdon Foundation.

Abingdon Senior School will admit girls to its First Year (Year 7) and Sixth Form (Year 12) from September 2026. At Abingdon we aim to teach and develop the resources, skills and resilience that students need to feel confident in embracing their future. We encourage students to seize opportunities and to appreciate their responsibilities to each other and to society as a whole.

The School promotes a culture of mutual respect and equality and we celebrate diversity. Abingdon enjoys the very best in academic standards, music, sport and the arts in a caring and supportive environment where students are motivated to succeed.

The health and wellbeing of our pupils is paramount and the School has a comprehensive pastoral care system centred around a pupils tutor and Head of House.
