Co-Education

Since 1860, pupils have enjoyed the benefits of a first class education at OLA.  We are now delighted to welcome boys, as well as girls, into the Senior School.
 
For boys in our own Junior School it is a natural progression to the Senior School. Other boys are choosing to join the Senior School because they and their parents value our excellent teaching, pastoral care and extra-curricular programme. 
 
In today's world, we strongly believe there are educational advantages to be gained from teaching boys and girls together in a co-educational school. Co-education offers many benefits to both boys and girls. In modern society and in the work place it is important for girls and boys to understand each other's attitudes and to appreciate each other's points of view. As the first independent senior school in the town to offer co-education, this is an exciting step forward not only for Abingdon, but also for the surrounding area.
