Wycombe Abbey is The Sunday Times’ Top Girls Boarding School

Four Wycombe Abbey pupils sat on a sofa smiling at each other.

We are proud to announce that Wycombe Abbey has been listed as the top girls boarding school in the UK. This prestigious ranking, based on outstanding GCSE and A level results, reflects the School’s unwavering commitment to excellence. 

The achievement places Wycombe Abbey among an elite group of schools celebrated for their exceptional educational standards. The ranking also highlights the enduring success of single-sex girls’ schools, which continue to dominate national league tables.

Research and results alike show that girls’ schools provide a supportive environment where pupils can excel academically without the social pressures often experienced in mixed-gender settings. The absence of gender stereotypes enables girls to pursue a wide range of subjects, particularly in STEM fields, where they are historically underrepresented. 

As we celebrate our success, the School remains steadfast in its mission to inspire and empower young women who will not only achieve excellent academic results but who will live lives of responsibility and service.
