What new boys have said
“For the first two or so days leading up to the start of term I was
incredibly anxious and nervous. As soon as I sat on the bus, I
started to relax because everyone was so kind to me and always
made sure that I was ok. Also at school the other boys were really
kind and helped me find my classrooms, and the teachers were
extremely kind and made you feel settled in. Overall the first day
was super exciting and not at all scary.”

“Abingdon has been a huge change from my previous school and
has given me the opportunity to try new things. I think that my best
achievement so far has been being chosen to play in the rugby
team, where I have improved enormously. Lessons have also been
a change for the better, especially having the longer lessons,
making larger amounts of work possible. Although it is a long day it
is very much worth it and the amount of homework is manageable.
Doing sport everyday means that I can let off enough steam to do
homework to a good standard. The broader choice of people to
spend time with means that it is easy to find people that are both
similar to you and that have the same interests as you. These are
just a few of the many reasons why Abingdon has been a great
change and I am very happy to be here.”
