We are delighted that you have chosen our school for your child and are very much looking forward to welcoming your family to the Abingdon Pre-Prep community. Our aim is to create a friendly, caring and stimulating environment for our young pupils and the information set out in the following pages is designed to help you in preparing for your child's start. Welcome Page 02 Settling in Our main priority is to get your child settled into life at school as quickly as possible. Your child's form teacher is your first point of contact for any questions you may have and they will help your child to settle quickly into their new routine. School houses When your child starts school, they will be welcomed into one of our four houses: Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix and Unicorn and they will remain in this house for the duration of their time at Abingdon Prep School. The house system enables children to mix across age groups from the very start. There are regular house challenges throughout the year. In Reception, children learn about their house during the first term and then can earn counters (merits) for making good choices in both behaviour and achievement thereafter. Merit points that contribute to school houses are introduced part way through the year once children are established in routines and expectations.
