The Other Half

Welcome The ‘Other Half’ is a colloquialism used throughout Abingdon School. It represents a substantial part of the educational experience, involving activities that take place beyond the academic curriculum – and usually outside the classroom. It is to be seen as an essential part of the learning experience – offering boys the opportunity to learn about life in its broader context; its challenges and opportunities, successes and inevitable disappointments. I hope boys will enjoy looking through this booklet and that during their time at Abingdon they will have the opportunity to experience a range of contrasting activities; hopefully one or two will become pursuits they follow and develop in their adult lives. Henry Morgan, Director of the Other Half 3
