Make an
Impact
through the
Annual Fund
Abingdon School’s Annual Fund
raises money from parents, alumni
and friends. The purpose of the
fund is to: increase the number
of bursaries available to families
in need of assistance with fees;
enhance academic teaching and
learning, extra-curricular activities
and pastoral care and to carry
out special buildings and grounds
projects.
Donations to the Annual Fund
supplement fee income, enabling
teachers and staff to undertake
additional activities (or to increase
pupil participation in current
activities), which would otherwise
not be possible given budget
limitations.
Please support bursaries or one of
more than 20 proposed activities,
projects, equipment purchases, and
travel funds that form this year’s
Annual Fund. Or make a general
(unrestricted) donation for the
School to use where most needed.
Seven-a-side football is played with smaller
goals (12ft x 6ft) and pitches, enabling
young players to have more touches of the
ball, thus developing their interest and their
skills in the game.
The Art Department would like to engage
three artists to run a day of workshops
focussing on wire sculpting, willow sculpting
and wood carving. Artworks created would
be exhibited around the School.
Davies’ House day and boarding pupils
would like to decorate the House with
photos from school trips and life back
home. Photos are colourful and fun and
help create a home-away-from-home
feeling within the House.

At a cost of
£800 per pupil,
an increasing
number of pupils
are unable to
afford to go on
this trip. Your
contribution
to this travel
bursary will
increase access
for those pupils
from less well-
off families.
Bursaries ranging from 10% to 100% of fees make it possible for able boys
from less well-off families to attend Abingdon. Abingdon awards bursaries to
approximately 60 families each year, but we would like to offer many more.
