150+ clubs Other Half At Abingdon, we believe that classroom learning should only be one half of a students’ educational journey, which is why we devote so much time to our co-curricular programme, aptly named ‘The Other Half’. Time for the Other Half is allocated within the weekly timetable as well as during break times and after school to enable our students to choose a wide range of co-curricular opportunities each term from our range of over 150 activities. They might be drawn to the excitement and camaraderie of Duke of Edinburgh, the journalistic opportunities of newspaper and magazine writing, the development of a new skill such as ceramics, debating or computer science, the mental challenges of chess or the altruistic enjoyment of volunteering in the community. Whichever activities a pupil pursues, the two halves of an Abingdon education add up to a whole school experience that enables our students to become well-rounded, resourceful and ambitious learners. 5
