We are delighted to share the news that Abingdon and Abingdon Prep have both officially been named one of Talk Education\u2019s Top 250 Prep and Senior Schools in the UK.<\/p>\n

After months of rigorous evaluation and industry discussion, Talk Education has just unveiled its definitive list for 2026, and we are honoured to be featured alongside the most prestigious schools in the country.<\/p>\n

Being included in Talk Education’s Top 250 is a significant achievement because the selection process is so thorough. They don’t just look at the data, they look at the heart of the school, with their researchers delving into:<\/p>\n

The Quantifiable<\/strong>: Academic results, world-class facilities, and pupil destinations.<\/p>\n

The Unquantifiable<\/strong>: Our local reputation and the “feel” of our school community.<\/p>\n

The Grapevine:<\/strong> Feedback from our most important stakeholders – past and present parents, pupils and staff.<\/p>\n

This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our dedicated staff, the brilliance of our students, and the unwavering support of our families. We\u2019ll be proudly displaying our new Top 250 logo across our website and social media so keep an eye out for it!<\/p>\n
