St Helen and St Katharine

St Helen and St Katharine We have a single focus: girls. Their needs, their ambitions, their voices. Member of HMC and GSA. It is this combination which embodies the ethos of the school.

St Helen and St Katharine is an independent day school for girls aged 7-18, situated in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Situated in 22 acres on the edge of Abingdon, our 700 strong school consistently achieves excellent academic results, balanced by the importance placed on our broad extra-curricular programme. Beyond the classroom there are outstanding opportunities to explore and extend wider interests, friendship groups and build confidence.
