Inspiring the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow Receiving a bursary to go to Abingdon School afforded me the opportunity to be part of a warm and enriching community which profoundly impacted both my academic and personal growth. This financial support not only allowed me to focus on my studies but gave me the chance to experience and fully immerse myself in a multitude of subjects and activities I would have never thought of pursuing or trying. For me however it is sport that fostered a true sense of belonging in Abingdon School. I will always treasure the friendships and memories I made on various teams throughout Abingdon, but also the support of the teachers and coaches who really nurtured my development as an athlete through our passion for sport. Alongside sport, Abingdon’s Other Half co-curricular programmes allowed me to take up computing, a subject outside the scope of what I was studying at the time but an experience that has led me to pursue Computer Science at university. I am thankful that through the kindness of benefactors, I have been able to go to Abingdon, it has shaped the person I am today.
