The​ ​Weekend
At ​ ​
the​ ​
weekend​ ​
there​ ​
are​ ​
trips,​ ​
socials​ ​
and​ ​
activities​ ​
programme​ ​
that​ ​
are​ ​
part​ ​
of​ ​
the​ ​
Abingdon​ ​
Boarding​ ​
Experience​ ​
programme. ​ ​
There
is ​ ​
an​ ​
expectation​ ​
that​ ​
all​ ​
boarders​ ​
will​ ​
participate​ ​
regularly,​ ​
although​ ​
younger​ ​
boarders​ ​
are​ ​
expected​ ​
to​ ​
participate​ ​
more.​ ​
There​ ​
are
also​ ​weekly​ ​sports​ ​fixtures​ ​that​ ​all​ ​pupils​ ​are​ ​regularly​ ​involved ​ ​in.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​also​ ​often​ ​lectures,​ ​performances​ ​of​ ​music​ ​and ​ ​drama,
and​ ​trips​ ​that​ ​all​ ​members​ ​of​ ​the​ ​school​ ​(day​ ​and​ ​boarding)​ ​are​ ​invited​ ​to​ ​during​ ​the​ ​week​ ​and​ ​at​ ​weekends, ​ ​so​ ​make​ ​sure​ ​you​ ​make
the​ ​
most ​ ​
of​ ​
the​ ​
opportunities​ ​
available.
