Parking
There is very limited parking for visitors at Abingdon School, in addition the roads around the school are private and subject to clamping.
The Charter Car Park in the centre of Abingdon is a short walk from the school and is free for the first two hours. Street Map shows other parking close by.
The Sports Centre has its own (but with very limited spaces) car park, next to the School Coach Park off the Faringdon road. OX14 1BQ. Please park considerately when our car park is full.
Please avoid parking on Faringdon Road, particularly across curbs, as it can make it difficult for wheelchair users and other pedestrians to access the pathway. Thank you for your understanding.
