Boarders Handbook - Crescent House
What is Crescent House? Crescent House is first and foremost a home, where you will live while you are at Abingdon School. Located on the edge of the campus, Crescent House is home to 56 boarders and 46 days boys aged 13-18 years. The House consists of three separate buildings known as Crescent, Cobban and Glyndowr. We are fortunate to have extensive grounds, an orchard, and tennis courts, providing plenty of space for outdoor games and (weather permitting!) barbecues. You will have a room in one of the three buildings, and the House as a whole has communal facilities that are shared, such as a kitchen, a TV room, a Games room and a Computer room. Boys have access to a large-screen TV with satellite and an Xbox. The large kitchen allows the boys to make snacks or cook for themselves. Middle School boys (13-16) are accommodated in three or four bed rooms while the older boys are in two- or three-bedrooms, of which many are en-suite. In the 3rd and 4th Year boys rotate rooms once a term so that they have the opportunity to create a wide network of friends.The House has a mixture of boarders and day boys. The House community is there to help each other through the challenges of school life. We have teams that compete with other houses in the School, and social events that bring different groups together. The other pupils in the House will quickly become your friends and will probably be the people who share your best moments at Abingdon with.
