15 Life in the Houses Each of our three boarding houses has its own unique character and history. We are proud to have recently completed extensive renovations (2023) on two of our houses, with exciting plans for the third to follow. In every house, day students and boarders integrate fully, creating a vibrant, inclusive community. We put a great deal of care into room allocations, balancing fairness with students' individual preferences. The Essentials: Every bedroom has a desk, drawers, a wardrobe, and a private washbasin. Bathroom Facilities: Modern, clean showers, toilets, and washbasins are conveniently located within each boarding area. Sixth Form Independence: To support their studies, our Sixth Formers are allocated their own single rooms. Make it Yours: We love to see students personalise their space! Posters and photos are a fantastic way to make a room feel like home. Looking After Your Room: To help our dedicated cleaning teams who visit each morning, we ask all boarders to keep their rooms tidy. Security: For peace of mind, every boarder has a safe and a lockable cupboard for their valuables. Your personal space The kitchen is the social hub of the house - the perfect spot for a post-school chat and a snack. Always stocked: We keep the kitchen supplied with essentials like bread, butter, milk, and preserves. Daily treats: A popular "Snack Tea" is served every afternoon at 5:00pm. Weekend perks: On Friday and Saturday nights, boarders are welcome to order take-away meals. The 'Squads' tradition: To keep our communal spaces welcoming, boarders are responsible for their own washing up. Each evening, teams of students take part in a final tidy-up, known colloquially at Abingdon as ‘Squads.’ The Heart of the House: the kitchen
