All items should be clearly named. Each boarder has a safe and a lockable cupboard in their room that they can use to store valuables. Pupils should not borrow items from others without asking. Damage to property should be reported to the House Matron so that repairs can be made quickly. If damage is caused deliberately, the cost of repair to property belonging to either the School or another pupil may be charged to a parents’ bill and parents will be informed. In the rare event of a suspected theft, it should be reported swiftly and will be investigated. Valuable items and passports may be handed into house staff for safekeeping. Money Bank accounts can be set up with any bank in Abingdon. If necessary, Housemasters will provide a letter from the School confirming your child’s residence at Abingdon, although, if possible, international students should seek assistance from their guardians in setting up a bank account prior to arriving at Abingdon. House bank The Assistant Boarding Housemasters in each house run a house bank that boarders can deposit and withdraw money from. Parents can also set a limit on how much money they would like their child to withdraw each week. Caring for belongings Boarders should take care of their own property and show respect for the property of others and of the School at all times. 18 Personal belongings
