Prep Parents' Handbook 2024-25

Plenty of useful information can be found on our website including our school calendar, sports fixture information, details of JPA (our parents’ association) and our lunch menu, not to mention plenty of news stories about what our pupils have been up to. The Weekly Mailing Each Thursday during term time, parents are emailed our Weekly Mailing which contains vital information about forthcoming events at school. As such, it is important you let us know if you do not receive this. Abingdon Prep News Our termly school magazine provides a snapshot of the wide range of activities our children have enjoyed throughout the course of the previous term. Photographs and social media As already mentioned, news stories are published on the school website and shared via social media channels including X, Facebook and Instagram and this is an engaging way for parents to keep up to date with all their children are doing. Parents will be asked to complete a consent form when they join. Telephoning home If children need to speak to their parents during the course of the school day, they may ask permission of the school secretaries to use the telephone, but these requests should only be in exceptional circumstances. Mobile phones are not permitted in school and should only be brought into school with the express permission of the Head or Deputy Head. They would then be handed in at the school office upon arrival. www.abingdon.org.uk/prep Communication Central to the success of your child’s time at Abingdon Prep is a strong relationship between home and school. Your child's form teacher is your first point of contact and can be contacted via email with any questions you may have. The vast majority of general information is sent out by email or in our Weekly Mailing on a Thursday; or is available on our website. Page 03
