In this Section
We hope that the website provides you with a good introduction to Abingdon and the virtual tour will give you a taste of some of our facilities, but there is nothing quite like actually being here to really appreciate our school and the unique atmosphere that is Abingdon.
We have a range of opportunities for parents and students to visit – please see details below. At all of these there will be an opportunity to find out more about our move to co-education.
Events for parents
Discover Abingdon Open Mornings
Our Discover Abingdon events are mini open mornings for parents whose child is looking to join Abingdon in the next few years. These events are intended to be for parents only and involve a tour of the school, an address and Q&A session with the Head and senior staff from our academic, pastoral and admissions departments.
Discover Abingdon Sixth Form – 2026 entry
If you are considering moving to Sixth Form at Abingdon in September 2026, then this is the perfect event for you. Prospective students and their parents are invited to come and find out more about our co-ed plans, hear from our Head of Sixth Form, and learn about our academic and co-curricular offering, as well as how we support our Sixth Formers at this crucial time in their educational journey. There will also be the opportunity to chat to current staff and students and learn more about our After Abingdon programme. Spaces are limited, so early booking is encouraged.
Inside Abingdon
Come and join us for a tour of the school followed by an informal chat with the Admissions team and a member of the senior academic or pastoral team over coffee. These events are a great opportunity to find out more about your specific year of entry, our plans to welcome girls and to ask any specific questions you may have. To keep these events small and personal, we restrict places to six families.
Private appointments
The appointments include a meeting with the Head of Admissions and a tour of the school. They can be in person events at school or they can take place over Zoom or the telephone. Priority will be given to families looking for the next entry point.
