Meet the Head

We foster a culture of exciting opportunity here at Abingdon Prep and we seek to inspire a life-long love of learning. Our high academic standards, broad curriculum and ‘Other Half’ co-curricular programme enable our pupils to make the most of their time with us. True to the School’s founding values, we provide a nurturing community in which our children gain in confidence and develop their potential.

I firmly believe in the importance of providing an excellent all-round education during the crucially formative preparatory school years and also instilling values such as kindness, consideration and good manners.

Our teaching is built upon traditional subject specialist expertise, with small class sizes and we pride ourselves on the care and attention given to each pupil. As part of the Abingdon School Foundation, we have an extremely close relationship with our senior school, Abingdon, with the majority of our pupils joining the senior school for Year 9.

No website or inspection report can do full justice to the unique ethos, atmosphere and excellent facilities of Abingdon Prep, so please do come and see us in action. I would be delighted to welcome you to our school community to see for yourselves what we do here and to meet our fantastic children.
