When children join Abingdon Prep they are placed into one of four houses: Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix and Unicorn. They remain part of this house throughout their time at the school, mixing with children across all age ranges from their earliest days at Abingdon Prep.
There are house cups for all major sports, the performing arts and for cultural and academic activities. Most house points over the year, however, are gained for effort and success in the classroom and as such, all pupils’ contributions are equally important to the overall success of the houses.
In addition to offering chances to represent their houses, the system also introduces opportunities for pupils to take on responsibility and leadership. All staff are also attached to a house.
