In 2007, development costing £3 million – bringing a new sports hall, changing rooms, class rooms, and an art room – was completed. The school has a large sports field – especially large considering the size of the school. In recent years, a bridge over the busy A415 road has been built connecting the school on one side of the road to its sports fields on the other.
The school's most recent inspection was undertaken by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) branch of the Independent Schools Council (ISC) during November 2015. The report found that: 'The pupils’ achievement both inside and outside the classroom was exceptional'.
Crispin Hyde-Dunn, previously Deputy Head at King's College School, Cambridge, took up the position of Headmaster in April 2011. The headmistress of Abingdon School is Felicity Lusk.
