Abingdon Prep has always enjoyed a rich sporting history and we offer a wide variety of sport, both within our timetabled curriculum and through our Other Half extra-curricular programme. Our pupils learn the core sports of rugby, football, hockey, cricket, athletics and swimming as part of our timetable. Our provision is carefully tailored to each age group, with a focus on enjoyment, as well as the health and wellbeing benefits of an active lifestyle. From Year 3 upwards, every pupil is given the opportunity to represent the school in matches on a regular basis. Talented staff provide coaching and encouragement at all levels and children frequently reach very high standards, representing clubs, county and regional squads. External coaches, with specialist skills, complement the school’s staff, offering additional support and expertise. Our extensive grounds include 30 acres of sports pitches for cricket, rugby, football and cross-country. In addition, there is a multi-activity sports hall, multi-use Astroturf, cricket nets and an indoor heated swimming pool. We are also fortunate to have use of Tilsley Park and our Senior School sports facilities. Sport
