Mandarin club On 11 March, four Third Year students accompanied Ms Zhang to Carswell Primary school to run a Mandarin club. The session saw Carswell pupils develop new language skills and our own Abingdon students hone their own abilities in communication, leadership and teamwork as they came up with new ideas and incentives to test learning and maintain engagement. It was enjoyable for all. Help with the future 16 April 2025 Workshops in a Box is a new initiative from Abingdon Science Partnerships. It enables staff from local primary schools to book a workshop box, within which can be found specialist science equipment and activities. This enables them to confidently deliver science lessons within their own school setting and at their own pace. It also helps ensure continued access to science resources in the event they are unable to book one of our many onsite partnership workshops. Seven boxes are available on topics including magnets, electricity, sound, forces, light, rocks and fossils. Workshops in a Box in Partnership Abingdon School Year 5 and 6 pupils from local schools have been enjoying sessions at our primary multi-sports club each Thursday this term, run by Lower Sixth students and staff from Abingdon. The Abingdon students reacted and adapted well to the challenges of managing large groups and the sessions have been fun and engaging. The primary school pupils have worked hard, listened, practiced various skills and, most importantly of all, have really enjoyed themselves! Multi-sports club Around 800 secondary school students attended the annual Abingdon Careers Convention at Abingdon on 13 March. Young people heard from professionals across a range of sectors, gained an understanding of the different routes into employment, met apprentices, and were given advice - on career guidance and CV writing. We are grateful to the local businesses and many parents who helped facilitate such an informative evening.
