Below is an outline of a typical day at Abingdon from September 2011. Timings do vary across year groups and from day to day - more specific templates for each year group are downloadable from this page. However, the table below will give you a general idea of the shape of the day.
| 8.35am | Boys arrive in School and meet with their tutors |
| 8.50 - 9.45 | Period 1: Lessons for all |
| 9.50 - 10.45 | Period 2: Lessons for all |

The new timetable has made many more slots available for boys to participate in Abingdon's extensive Other Half programme. There are over 100 activities that boys can choose from and these vary from sports, community service, CCF to clubs and societies.
Many boys travel to and from school by school bus. Buses arrive in time for boys to meet their tutors at 8.35 and leave at 5.20pm following after school activities ("The Other Half").
