Join us at the Family Science Club for a Saturday morning filled with exciting challenges, hands-on exploration, and plenty of fun!

The Family Science Club runs once per half term and is held in the state-of-the-art Partnerships Lab within the Yang Science Centre at Abingdon School. Each session features a new theme or scientific focus, encouraging families to discover something different every time.

Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult throughout the session. Whether you’re experimenting, building, or solving puzzles together, it’s a brilliant way to inspire a love of science in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Our Development Level Tennis Camp offers an enjoyable and intensive week focused on skill development, gameplay, and tactical understanding. The camp is ideal for players who wish to develop fundamental techniques while improving their competitive match play.

The camp is led by Martin Butler, Head Tennis Coach at Abingdon School and an LTA Level 4 Performance Coach with over 20 years of experience at performance level. A former performance coach on the Berkshire and Hampshire Performance programmes, Martin has coached college and professional players from around the world, bringing high performance insight to every session.

A key feature of the course is the extensive use of video analysis to support player development. Participants will complete video analysis before and after sessions to measure improvement, receive progression videos and detailed feedback, and take part in guided analysis of professionally recorded matches. This enables players to learn what top performers are doing technically and tactically. Please note, to make full use of the video analysis elements, participants must bring their own device capable of recording video, such as a smartphone or tablet.
