Abingdon is a leading independent day and boarding school for children aged 11 to 18. Full and weekly boarding is available from age 13. Abingdon Senior School will admit girls to its First Year (Year 7) and Sixth Form (Year 12) from September 2026. The school is situated in 35 acres in the centre of Abingdon, just south of Oxford with good road links to the A34.

Facilities include a modern theatre, a range of excellent sporting facilities and contemporary spaces. The Amey Theatre, built in the 1980s and fully refurbished in 2015 sits at the heart of Abingdon School’s Arts Centre. The auditorium is equipped with modern high specification technical facilities, a large ‘apron’ stage and projection facilities which include an 8m x 5m cinema standard projection screen. The space is versatile and can be adapted to a wide range of uses. Please note, the Amey theatre standard set up allows for 434 attendees to be comfortably seated, with the option of increasing capacity to 450 attendees at an additional cost. Adjoining the main auditorium, our state-of-the-art pavilion features a bar and a dynamic contemporary space, perfect for functions and events. Available for hire separately or alongside the Amey Theatre, this versatile venue is ideal for any occasion. With a seating capacity of 246, the pavilion includes a snug wellness area, a bar, a café kitchen, and diverse dining facilities. Choose from a variety of seating options, including dining tables, high tables, bistro tables, and soft seating, to create the ideal ambiance for any occasion.
