Our Vision for Bursaries

Widening access and unlocking potential Abingdon has always been, and continues to be, a school rooted in its community. We particularly recognise that there are boys of great potential in the surrounding area who would benefit from all that an Abingdon education offers but whose family circumstances do not permit this without assistance from our bursary programme. The average level of bursary support for a pupil at Abingdon is 50% of fees. For some families a lower level of bursary support makes it possible for their son to accept a place here, for others 80-100% of fee remission is required. We have set ourselves the ambitious target of increasing the number of bursaries we can offer from 70 to 110 places by the end of 2025. This will mean that 10% of our pupils can benefit from means-tested bursary support. We are asking our community to support us.
