Packing for Abingdon: What to bring Preparing for boarding is an exciting time, and we want to help you and your child ensure they have everything they need for a comfortable start. 7 With so many students living together, keeping track of laundry is much easier when everything is labelled. Label everything: Please ensure all clothing and all personal items are named before your child arrives. Spare labels: We ask that you order name tapes in good time and give a few spares to the House Manager for any new items bought during the term. The golden rule: name tapes Boarders wear school uniform until 5:00pm, after which they are welcome to change into their own clothes. Clothing and uniform Our official supplier is Stevensons. You can order online, and for new boarders, items can be shipped directly to the school at the Faringdon Lodge address. Buying uniform In addition to school uniform, we recommend the following: Underwear and socks: At least 10 pairs of each. Nightwear: Two changes of pyjamas/nightwear. Toiletries: A personal washbag with all the essentials. Home clothes: A selection of comfortable clothes for evenings and weekends. Footwear: Slippers or flip-flops for indoor use. Linens: Two bath towels, two duvet covers, and two pillowcases. Please note: duvets and pillows are provided. To help your child keep their room tidy and organised, we suggest aiming for a "less is more" approach. Ideally, all personal belongings should fit into one suitcase and one holdall.
