Abingdon School

Ed Davies

Davies’ House provides the support and encouragement necessary for pupils to achieve academic success, develop self-confidence and independence and become concerned and responsible members of society. The house is a community that helps it members through the challenges they face in their time at Abingdon School and celebrates their successes and achievements. Crucially it is a place where pupils form friendships and learn social skills that will last them for the rest of their lives.

Unique within the school, Davies’ House combines day pupils aged 14-18 years old with sixth form boarders, many of whom have joined the house from abroad. The house, therefore, offers opportunities for day pupils and boarders to get to know one another, for pupils to convert to boarding in the sixth form and for pupils to experience a range of cultures.

Day boys and boarders benefit from recreational facilities in the games room, the work space provided by the house library and the relaxing environment of the house garden. Boarders have study bedrooms, shared with one or two other students, many of which have on suite facilities. There is also a TV room and kitchen for the boarders.

Mr Davies, the housemaster, heads up a highly experienced and enthusiastic team of tutors, and is supported by the house Matron, Carol Webb. Between them the house staff look after the academic and pastoral concerns of the pupils in the house.
