Weekly Mailing
We aim to send an e-mail each Friday at 5.00 pm which provides a link to that day's Weekly Mailing. All editions of Weekly Mailing may be found on the website, under the News tab. The search facility at the top right of every page can be useful to find archived items. We would encourage those who missed the link to view last Friday's Weekly Mailing.
Open Day: Saturday 29 September
Open Day runs from 9.30 until 12.30. All boys, EXCEPT first years who are not involved in an activity such as an orchestra or band, are expected to attend and should arrive at School no later than 8.55 am to register before beginning their Open Day activities. Request for absence on this day should, as usual, be made to the housemaster, as for a single weekday absence.
For boys who use the joint bus service, all the morning routes will be operating the weekday schedule running 30 minutes later than usual. For the return journey, the weekday 5.20 pm service will depart on all usual routes from the coach park at 1.00 pm.
Abingdon News
Copies of the new 'Abingdon News' will be given to boys to take home next week. There is one copy per family. Boys who are full boarders will have copies posted home.
Dropping off and collection of pupils by car
Parents are reminded not to drop off or collect boys from the Bursary area, or Lower Field Car Park, please. This is because the area is already busy with pedestrians, pupils and school traffic. We therefore ask that parents drop and collect boys in Park Crescent, operating a one-way system travelling clockwise past the private housing on the west of Albert Park, and ending up near the boarding houses. The Crescent ends at a cross roads, where halting is obligatory on these private roads.
Wheel clamping operates on Park Road and Park Crescent, so you are advised not to leave a car unattended.

Drinks and canapes will be served in the Sports Centre Hospitality Suite.
