Abingdon Prep\u00a0School provides a happy,\u00a0stimulating and positive environment where children enjoy learning and grow in confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considerable emphasis is placed on the value of pupils developing good working patterns, together with sound organisational skills. In particular children are encouraged to develop self-reliance and a sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n

We aim to provide access to a variety of interesting and appropriate activities chosen from a balanced curriculum that help children to think and, especially, to enjoy what they are doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPupils are challenged regularly by teachers to question their learning and to develop higher-order thinking skills to investigate and analyse data and draw reasonable outcomes from the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
