Abingdon School Prospectus

Boarding Full and weekly boarding is available from the age of 13 (Third Year). Our boarding houses offer a home from home environment. Day students also belong to our boarding houses, ensuring a good mix, and the friendships formed provide a stable and supportive environment for academic exploration and learning. The houses encourage an active, fun and friendly community life. The recent renovation and extension of two of our boarding houses in 2023 has significantly enhanced our offering. Bedrooms sleep between two and three boarders as standard, with sixth formers having single bedrooms. In addition to dedicated study areas and kitchenettes, our boarding community has access to a variety of communal spaces with sociable activities. We have a wonderful mix of local and international boarders, creating a vibrant and culturally diverse environment. A great variety of activities is available outside school hours including paintballing, sailing, punting, bowling, socials with other schools and a wide range of trips. Through our Enrichment Programme, boarders get valuable experience in organising their daily lives, learning about tasks such as cooking and laundry, as well as personal administration and money management, preparing them for independent life beyond school. 10
