Welcome to a glimpse of this unique and exceptional school. Abingdon is a
lively community and what is striking is how straightforward and engaging the
boys are. They carry a quiet confidence, mingled with a certain charm, and they
are willing to look you in the eye, which is very attractive. I think that this says a
lot about the boys and the families who make up this special community.
Certainly you would expect a stimulating, rigorous academic programme, where
high standards count, as a given. Teachers are passionate about their subjects,
deeply committed to the School and keen to draw the very best from the boys.
This, combined with an eye-watering array of clubs, sports and activities, really
does mean that a boy can explore any possible talent or interest, whether latent
or burgeoning. We don’t call our extra-curricular programme the “Other Half”
without reason. The offer really is hand in hand with the academic programme.
Nurturing and coaxing a boy through the early stages of his life is a serious and
considered business. At Abingdon the boys really are very well looked after. It is
hard to get lost here.
I very much hope that you too will discover these qualities in this characterful
school. Do visit us. We are very happy to welcome you to Abingdon.
