Wycombe Abbey

We are consistently one of the country’s top-performing schools and send our pupils to leading universities globally each year. Every pupil also has opportunities to develop their passions and explore new possibilities through our extensive co-curricular programme which includes art, performing arts, sport, MUN, charity work and a range of trips. We believe that education is not simply about delivering a curriculum nor academic results, but that real learning stems from stimulating intellectual interest and nurturing a love for subjects that stays with our pupils throughout their lives.

Boarding is key to our success. We have a culture that stimulates and inspires throughout the whole week, empowering girls to achieve their best, academically and socially. Given the nature of boarding life, girls carve out a unique learning path according to their interests having the space to thrive. Our approach to boarding is sympathetic to the needs of today’s families; girls have the opportunity to go home regularly and parents are actively involved in School events and activities. Our Year 7 pupils start in Junior House to settle into School life, Years 8-12 join one of nine Senior Houses in mixed-age dorms and our Year 13 pupils spend their last year of School together again with their year group, providing independent living and a stepping stone to university life.

We are set in 170 acres of conservation-listed parkland, 35 miles west of London. Modern, first-class facilities include the Sports Centre, with a 25-metre indoor pool, the Performing Arts Centre, an atrium café, dance and fitness studios, climbing wall, squash courts and extensive sports pitches and facilities.
