The Unicorn School
Abingdon, Oxfordshire, South East · OX14 1AA
Founded in 1991, The Unicorn School is a small independent day school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, with around 130 pupils. Its scale is deliberate: with more than a quarter of pupils on SEN support, this is a setting built around individual learning needs rather than the cohort sizes of a larger school. Headed by Alison Woodworth-Sturla and inspected by the ISI, it offers a distinctly personal environment for families seeking close attention.

Teaching & academics
The school teaches towards GCSE, and its headline data must be read in the context of its specialist, small-cohort intake. An Attainment 8 score of 10.5, set against a national average of 46.9, and a 0% rate for grade 5+ in English and Maths reflect a pupil population with significant additional learning needs rather than a conventional selective profile. Families should view this as a school where progress is measured against each child's starting point.
