For nearly one hundred and fifty years pupils have enjoyed the benefits of a first class education at Our Lady's Abingdon. I am delighted to announce that as from September 2009 boys will be admitted to the Senior School.
We will be offering the same opportunities in the Senior School that boys presently enjoy up to the age of 11 in the Junior School. OLA will be 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.
In today's world, we strongly believe there are educational advantages to be gained from teaching boys and girls together in a co-educational senior 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. Co-education will help them to achieve these aims.
You are warmly invited to come and visit the school, to meet our pupils and staff and to see at first hand our vibrant and exciting community.

Headteacher
