Welcome to Abingdon Prep School. We are delighted that you have chosen our school for your child and are very much looking forward to welcoming your family to the Abingdon Prep School community. We hope you will find the information set out in this document helpful in preparing for your child's start at school. 1 Welcome School life School life revolves around form teachers, pupils’ houses and Other Half activities. Pupils are divided, according to year group, into Pre-Prep (Reception, Years 1 and 2), Middle (Years 3, 4 and 5) and Senior (Years 6, 7 and 8) sections. Settling ln Our main priority is to get your child settled into life at school as quickly as possible. Your child's form teacher is your first point of contact for any questions you may have and they will help your child to settle quickly into their new routine. All new pupils are allocated a class buddy to help them settle in during their first few weeks with us. School Houses When your child starts school, they will be placed into one of our four houses: Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix or Unicorn and they will remain in this house for the duration of their time at Abingdon Prep. The house system enables children to mix across age groups from the very start. Each House is led by a Head of House - a teacher designated to those pupils and opportunities for them to work together with younger and older pupils across the school. There are house cups for sports, performing arts and for cultural and academic activities, providing plenty of opportunity for healthy inter-house competition.
