In May 2024, Abingdon announced its decision to move to co-education. We will be welcoming girls to our First Year and Sixth Form from September 2026 and Third Year from September 2028. View a video message from Mike Windsor here.
Welcome to Abingdon School
We are delighted that you are considering an Abingdon education for your child.
We are an academically selective school, and our impressive results speak for themselves, but we also place great emphasis on the cocurricular. Abingdon students are encouraged to seize opportunities, to understand their responsibilities to the wider community, and to celebrate diversity in everything they do. We believe this holistic approach to education prepares young people today for their future in tomorrow’s world.
It is this vision which has led us to announce our move to co-education. We will be welcoming girls into the First Year and Sixth Form from 2026, and into the Third Year from 2028. You can read the full announcement here.
There is no typical Abingdon student and we take into consideration the character, interests and talents of every individual who applies, welcoming applications from all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. Each year, over 200 students join us from more than 100 different schools across the state and independent sectors and from overseas.
The best way to experience all that Abingdon can offer is to come and visit. We hope to welcome you soon.

Welcome from Head of Admissions
My name is Penny Daly and I am Head of Admissions at Abingdon. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to find the right senior school for your child and I also know how daunting and stressful the process can be.
My first hand experience of the State and Independent sectors, along with my in-depth knowledge of the school will enable me to support you with any questions you may have or to put you in touch with other members of our school community.
The information provided on these pages is a useful first starting point and my team and I are always on hand to guide you through the process.
