Abercorn School was an independent private school in central London for pupils ages 2–16 years. Abercorn School had two separate premises, all within walking distance in St John's Wood and Marylebone, London. The school was opened in 1987 by Andrea Greystoke. The school abruptly closed and entered administration in July 2024, following the death of its founder. It had been struggling with declining student numbers and rising costs since the pandemic.
Abercorn used the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum as a basis for teaching. Abercorn was a through-school, although some pupils moved on to a wide range of independent secondary schools or boarding schools at the end of Year 6, with students who progressed to Abercorn's Senior School. Pupils were prepared for the 11+ and 13+ examinations, as well as GCSEs.
Abercorn School was a member of ISA, the Independent Schools Association, and also IAPS, the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools.
