Fitzharrys School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England. There are about 650 students attending. The headteacher since March 2020 is Will Speke, who took over from Jonathan Dennett.[1] The school emblem that adorns the gateway and uniform badges depicts three Harriers on a light blue background.
Until November 2018, it was a community school administered by Oxfordshire County Council. It joined John Mason School and Rush Common School to form the Abingdon Learning Trust,[2] converting to an Academy.
Since 2005, Fitzharrys School has held the status of a specialist school for technology. The specialist school status is a joint partnership between the three state secondary schools in Abingdon: Fitzharrys, John Mason School and Larkmead School. As part of the change in status and increased funding many new investments have been made.
