Our Vision for Bursaries

Our son was offered a place at Abingdon and it seemed important, as we are in a position to afford to pay the fees, that we help in some way to open the opportunity to others. I benefited from similar generosity during my time at school in Yorkshire and it was life changing. Gayle Bell, First Year parent The opportunities that Abingdon offers are transformative, and stay with you for life. I was incredibly fortunate to receive a bursary during my time at Abingdon, which allowed me to access an incredible range of extracurricular activities, as well as a first-class education. I am greatly impressed by the School’s commitment to growing the bursary programme, and it is a pleasure to feel that I can help future generations to benefit in the same way that I did. Henry Carter (OA 2006) Education transformed my life chances. I am impressed by the opportunities available to my son at Abingdon. The bursary programme will mean that more boys can take advantage of these excellent opportunities. David Evans, Second Year parent I decided to donate because since my son has been at the school I have been genuinely impressed by the quality of teaching and pastoral care. I feel that my son has been very lucky and would like to feel that someone else can benefit from the same opportunities. Michelle Hobbs, former parent As a teacher, it is a pleasure to work with students from all backgrounds and witness them flourish as they move up the school. Inclusivity is a key aspect of school life and students who take up a place on the bursary programme develop into confident Abingdonians in the same manner as any other student in the school.
