Sport round up
The Autumn Term has seen huge sporting
success. Five boys have been selected for
Oxfordshire County Cricket winter squads,
our fencers have had excellent results in
regional competitions and Rhys Humphries,
John Corran and Rory Parsons all won full
rugby colours. The U8 A tag rugby team
had an unbeaten season and were winners
of the inaugural Abingdon Preparatory
Tag Tournament. The U10 A team also
tasted success by winning the Cokethorpe
tournament. This season the U13 A XV has
gone from strength to strength winning five
of their last six matches. They have been
particularly successful on the sevens circuit,
reaching the semi-final of the Pinewood
tournament and were joint winners of the
inaugural Abingdon Prep School Sevens
Tournament.

Abingdon news
Prep Schools Quiz
Abingdon Prep’s senior team once again
performed with credit in the annual Prep
Schools Quiz Tournament at Magdalen College
School. Suitably refreshed and stimulated by an
impromptu visit to Oxford’s Botanic Gardens,
the team scored consistently in all rounds
except, perhaps forgivably, ‘Popular Culture’.
The team was captained by Jonah Walker and
ably assisted by Oliver Beaumont, Alexander
Jorgenson, Darius Oraee and Jake Pennington.

Supporting Children in
Need
The Prep School enjoyed a spotty Pudsey day
on 18 November - raising money for Children in
Need. Money boxes were raided, relatives held
to ransom and pocket money was donated all
in a good cause. The total amount raised from
the whole school was an amazing £360.
