Abingdon Boarding Prospectus

I thought settling into boarding would be very hard, but I was wrong. I’ve been here for almost 3 years, and I wake up at home every day.” A boarder Weekly boarding has provided a really good balance... the space for our son to grow from boy to man but still seeing him regularly to feel like we can keep the close family contact.” A parent Boarding has been at the heart of Abingdon for 750 years; we have a strong boarding ethos and it is an integral part of our school. Every boarding school promises a ‘home-from- home’ experience but rarely is it quite as comprehensive as the one offered by Abingdon. We promote a co-parenting partnership where boys are not living completely different home and school lives, the two being very much combined. We understand the needs of a modern family, where time together is precious. We fit around our families’ busy lives. Parents are encouraged to have as much communication with their sons as they wish. There are no exeat or home weekends – boys can go home as and when they choose (outside of lesson time and other school commitments). Why board at Abingdon?
