Help a future Abingdonian achieve their full potential... Investing in society for the future “Roysses” (as it was usually known then) was a Direct Grant school when I arrived as a ten-year-old boarder in 1954. Even then, I valued the inclusivity of that funding model: the fact that the great majority of my fellow pupils were from the local area and had got there on merit. I felt I was at a normal, non-elitist school, albeit an exceptionally good one. It is with this ethos in mind that I am delighted to be contributing towards a bursary at Abingdon to help a child achieve their full potential. From the School’s perspective, such bursary schemes are set to be vital in satisfying ever-growing demand for greater social inclusivity in the independent school sector. Andrew King (OA 1962)
