Abingdon News No. 70

What a fantastic experience it was to spend time with so many members of our Abingdon community during the Head’s recent visit to Hong Kong and Shanghai. We met with OAs, current and former parents and future students from across the generations, and were once again overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome we received. We invite the entire Abingdon community to take part in our Giving Day. This is an opportunity for OAs, parents, staff, and friends to come together in support of The Abingdon Foundation. Your contributions will help enhance educational experiences and provide bursaries for our pupils. Every gift, regardless of size, makes an impact. Keep an eye out for more details on how to participate - whether through donations, spreading the word, or engaging with us on social media. Thanking our supporters The sun was shining and the drinks were flowing at our annual summer garden party hosted by Head, Mike Windsor. Abingdon’s community of donors and volunteers underpin the success of our school and we are forever grateful for their support. Guests went on to enjoy the end of year summer concert in the Amey Theatre, which showcased many of our strongest musicians and the joint efforts of our music teachers and ensemble members. Head visits China Thanking our legators On Saturday 7 June, we welcomed members of our 1563 Society to Abingdon for their annual gathering. Following a delicious three course lunch, Archivist, Sarah Wearne, shared fascinating insights about some of the treasures of Abingdon School including our historic connection to Pembroke College, Oxford. The day concluded with a packed Chapel service and rousing hymn-singing, centred around the theme of friendships. September 2025 Development Abingdon 26
