Since Roger has left APS, the staff prize this year was open - Nick ably filled the gap dressed as the BFG, complete with bottle of ‘frobscottle’! (More photos on the Pre-Prep pages.) World Book Day AS PEER SUPPORT LEADS VISIT A Greener Future at Cox’s Field During the final two weeks of term, the whole of APS donned their wellies and took part in an inspiring tree planting project on Cox’s Field. As part of a national initiative, the Woodland Trust has been providing free trees to schools and communities, aiming to create a greener, healthier future for us all. Under the expert guidance of David and Iain, our pupils (and many staff!) carefully planted a variety of beautiful, assorted saplings to enhance the natural beauty of the field. The children were absolutely delighted to get stuck in, learning about the environment while leaving a lasting legacy for years to come. A huge thank you to the Grounds team and Richard Hagar for initiating this wonderful project! Year 8 were joined by four Peer Support Leads from Abingdon School, three of whom were former APS pupils They were given the opportunity to ask questions about life at the senior school, and gain an understanding of what is in store for them when they join the Third Year in September.
