04 About Abingdon At Abingdon we aim to teach and develop the resources, skills and resilience that your children will need in order to feel confident in embracing their future. We encourage them to seize opportunities and to appreciate their responsibilities - not only to one another but also to society as a whole. Our School promotes a culture of mutual respect and equality and we celebrate diversity. Abingdon enjoys the very best in academic standards, music, sport and the arts, in a caring and supportive environment where students are motivated to succeed. The health and wellbeing of our students is paramount and the School has a comprehensive pastoral care system centred around a student's tutor and housemaster. Location The School is situated in 35 acres of beautiful grounds in the centre of Abingdon, just south of the university city of Oxford. Abingdon is ideally located for access to the cities of Oxford and London. Both London Heathrow and London Gatwick Airports are within an easy distance of the School, with journey times taking approximately 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes, by road, respectively.
