Abingdon Preparatory School has been part of Abingdon School since 1998. Established
as one of the leading prep schools in the area, the majority of pupils move on to Abingdon,
with an increasing number gaining academic, art, drama, sport or music awards.
Standing in nearly 50 acres of beautiful grounds, three miles from Abingdon, the Prep
School provides a friendly and stimulating environment for boys up to thirteen years and
girls to age seven. The caring and encouraging atmosphere promotes independence,
self-confidence and respect. Pupils flourish in an environment where academic studies are
carefully balanced with the creative and performing arts, sport and a wide variety of
extra-curricular and social activities.
All children are encouraged to enjoy the opportunities available at the Prep School by
taking part in the diverse range of clubs and societies. These include chess, choir,
gardening, art and an extensive choice of sports. Regular trips and visits supplement the
academic curriculum with, most recently, day trips to the Tate, Sulgrave Manor, HMS
Victory and Bowood House plus football tours to Amsterdam, French residential trips,
outdoor adventure weekends and skiing holidays.
The Prep School has an excellent sporting reputation, enhanced by impressive new
facilities, including a sports hall, which accommodates cricket nets and multi-sport
activities. This superb development complements 30 acres of playing fields and an indoor
swimming pool. The core sports are soccer, rugby and cricket with coaching available for
additional activities including golf, judo, shooting, fencing, tennis and athletics.
