Our Lady’s Abingdon, a private school in Oxfordshire founded in 1860, closed in August 2025 due to financial struggles and £1.56 million in debts, leaving its 300 pupils relocated.
The site, owned by the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy and operating under a 99-year lease, remains vacant with no immediate plans for its future.
Trustees are undergoing liquidation, and the school’s owners seek a charitable use but have not finalized any proposals.
County officials have not begun formal discussions but suggest the facility could eventually serve special educational needs (SEND) provision, given declining enrollment and surplus school capacity.
Security costs have risen since closure, and no sale or transfer has occurred.
