The Other Half is the term used at Abingdon to describe our co-curricular programme. It acknowledges that what a student does in the classroom makes up only half of their educational journey, with the other half made up of a variety of interests and activities. Intended to enhance and hone essential life skills as well as complement the academic curriculum, the Other Half offers over 150 activities for students to choose from, so there really is something for everyone. Integrated into the timetable, students are encouraged to make the most of the extraordinary opportunities available to them through the Other Half as we believe this rounded educational experience better prepares them for life beyond the school gates. The pages which follow provide a small glimpse into some of the Other Half activities, with a comprehensive list made available to students at the beginning of each term. The Other Half The school promotes an educational culture that sees the pursuit of high academic standards as equally balanced with the value of pupils engaging in a wide range of extracurricular pursuits and personal development opportunities.
