Families of children in Year 7 and above who have accepted a place at Abingdon Senior School and who cannot afford to pay full fees, may apply to the Abingdon Foundation for fee assistance. Assistance is only available on day fees and can be worth as much as 100%.
All candidates must meet the high academic entrance criteria and priority is given to those who perform best overall in our entrance process; to those who it is felt will be likely to gain most from an Abingdon education; and to UK families who live locally. Currently, approximately 7% of the school roll receive financial help.
Our Governors are mindful, when fee assistance is provided, that there remains an overall fair balance between those benefiting from a free or subsidised place and full fee-paying parents, many of whom are also making significant personal sacrifices to fund their children’s independent education.
The FAQ questions and answers which can be found here are intended to address the most common queries about free and subsidised places. If you would like to know more please contact Mrs Clare Butcher by email: [email protected].
