Registration
Registration for entry to Abingdon should be made using the

available from
www.abingdon.org.uk/registration_form
or email:
The completed registration form, and a cheque for the non-refundable
fee, should be returned to the Registrar at the School. Please see the
Fees section in this booklet for the current registration fee.
An overview of the main entry points to the School
The main points of entry are at age 11 (First Year), age 13 (Third Year)
and age 16 (Sixth Form). Candidates slightly older or younger may be
accepted at these points of entry at the Head’s discretion; each case
is considered on its merits.
There is no regular entry at other ages, but occasional vacancies arise
at age 12 (Second Year) and age 14 (Fourth Year) and the Registrar will
consider applications for these specific age groups.
We have boarding (both weekly and full) from the age of 13.
Overseas admissions
are usually considered on an individual basis and
age variations can be more likely. For more information about overseas
admissions please visit
www.abingdon.org.uk/overseas_admissions
.
Please ask the Registrar if you are unsure about which year of entry to
apply for.
Boys are selected for entry by competitive examination, but consideration
is also given to character and non-academic attainments or interests. To
avoid unnecessary disappointment, every case is investigated as carefully
as possible beforehand, and advice is given accordingly; it is sensible,
therefore, for parents to register their sons well in advance of the
admission point.
The admissions procedures described in this booklet may be subject to
minor changes from time to time.
