Info
Wycombe Abbey is an independent girls' boarding school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. Consistently ranked as one of the top schools regionally and nationally in academic results, the school was founded in 1896 by Frances Dove, who was previously headmistress of St Leonards School in Scotland. Its present capacity is approximately 615 girls, aged 11 to 18. The school is situated on a 170 acres (69 ha) campus in central High Wycombe.
The land includes woods, gardens, a Cold War bunker (RAF Daws Hill) and a lake, and rises up to 500 feet (150 m) above sea level in the Chiltern Hills. The freehold is owned by the school; the main house and several buildings at Wycombe Abbey are Grade II* listed. The current headmistress is Rhiannon Wilkinson.
