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.  What will happen on the first day I arrive in September?  1100 New boys and parents arrive at the House.
