Abingdon Preparatory School Open Morning
Abingdon Prep School will be holding its open morning on Saturday 8 October from 10am-12pm. This is an exciting time for the Prep School with the change to the transfer process for boys moving on to Abingdon School. This change combined with the “Exceptional” rating the School received in its latest ISI Inspection means that places at the Prep School are much in demand. All welcome. Further details.
Abingdon Michaelmas Fair: Monday 10 and 11 October and Abingdon Runaway Fair: Monday 17 October
Parents should expect that traffic flow in Abingdon will be severly disrupted by the Abingdon Fairs. On Monday 10 and Tuesday 11 October vehicle entry to Park Road and Park Crescent will only be via the gate on Faringdon Road (along from the Coach Park).
Saturday Bus & Lunch Service.
Following a review of the provision on a Saturday we will be improving our lunch offering for the boys. Our aim remains to provide a hot lunch for all boys who travel into School on a Saturday by the school bus system; this will be served between 11.45 – 12.15 only in the Dining Hall
However, in order to do this we do need accurate numbers for both the bus company and the catering staff; as such we have developed a simple sign up form that must be completed by 9am on the Friday prior to the weekend that your son requires a lunch. Only those students signed up will receive a hot lunch.
When completing this form please ensure that you look a week ahead on the fixture card, to the relevant date, to see if your son is playing at home or away, in the morning or afternoon so that you can make an accurate decision on your need for the bus & lunch system.
This system is now active so please click on the link to access the form.
ASPA
Please follow the link to complete the ASPA Contact Form which you need to complete and submit electronically in order to be included on the Contact List for your Year Group and receive the ASPA mailing. Thanks to all those who have completed it however for parents of boys in Years 1 and 3 particularly, we still don’t have all the forms submitted and if your son has just joined the school in another year, getting onto the Contact List for your year group is a great way to get in touch with other parents and to be invited to events.
