I thought settling into boarding would be very hard, but I was wrong. I’ve been here for almost 3 years, and I wake up at home every day. - A boarder We understand that the beginning of the boarding journey can result in a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Boarding at Abingdon is at the very heart of the School, its aims, ethos and the quality of relationships that exist between pupils and staff. We believe that the boarders and staff should all work together to create a positive, happy community in which everyone feels comfortable and has an important part to play. During their time at Abingdon, your child will be part of a warm and caring community who will help them to develop into a confident, independent young person. Rest assured, they will be very well looked after and will thrive in our home-from-home environment. We hope the information in this handbook, which provides a practical step by step guide to life as a boarder at Abingdon, is informative, helpful and reassuring. Please remember, we are always here for you if you have questions or concerns. Do get in touch if there is anything on your mind. 03 Welcome From left to right: James Golding, Matthew Kendry, Mike Litchfield
