Abingdon Prep School Prospectus

The Other Half We are extremely proud of our extensive range of outstanding extra-curricular activities, which we call the Other Half. In both timetabled and after-school slots across the week boys are free to choose from more than 50 activities each term, as diverse as coding, gardening, debating, touch-typing, archery and Lego robotics. The aim of our Other Half programme is to inspire young minds, not just through excellent teaching but by providing a rich variety of experiences both inside the school and beyond it. In a typical school year, our pupils will have the chance to take trips that involve canoeing, walking, outdoor adventure, museums, sports training, theatre and bushcraft, both in the UK and abroad. Whichever activities and outings a pupil chooses, we encourage them to enjoy varied interests and to try something new, as we recognise that much of our boys’ confidence comes from the excellent relationships built up with staff as they continue their learning beyond the classroom. We also encourage pupils to give as well as gain, getting involved in community volunteering and raising thousands of pounds each year for the School’s nominated charity.
