ABOUT An introduction to Abingdon Prep Abingdon Prep is a leading independent prep school for boys aged 4 to 13. Together with our Senior School, Abingdon, we make up the Abingdon Foundation which educates boys to age 18, with full and weekly boarding available at the Senior School from age 13. Our Timeline Abingdon Prep is based in Frilford just outside Abingdon and is set in 50 acres of beautiful countryside with views to the Ridgeway. Fresh air and space abound with woods to explore, gardens to cultivate, adventure play areas to enjoy and an abundance of sports pitches and playgrounds. We are a very happy, friendly school with around 250 boys. There is no typical pupil. Confident or shy, robust or sensitive – and they are usually a mixture of all four – we know what makes boys tick. Wherever their interests lie, our extensive Other Half (extra-curricular) programme with around 100 clubs and activities, captures their enthusiasm. It might be coding, the creative arts, fencing or folk group or perhaps the sports field where, whether they are A or D team, they will represent their school. 0+ Other Half activities to choose from 0 Scholarships and awards to senior schools in the last 3 years 0% Of boys play a musical instrument Opportunities are plentiful at Abingdon Prep and boys are keen to try everything; they want to sing in the choir, play in the orchestra, join the debating team and they enjoy all that they do. Our small class sizes ensure that pupils are very well cared for and their strengths and weaknesses recognised. With one class throughout Pre-Prep and then two per year from age seven, there is plenty of opportunity for musical ensembles, art and science clubs and when it comes to team sport, we have full fixture cards for every term. Our teaching is adapted to boys’ learning. Our phonics programme is tailored to suit and we know the books they enjoy, the trips that will inspire. We appreciate that every boy is different and that confidence is key. Boys flourish here, and happy boys make very good learners. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Further information: Book a visit An introduction to School Life Transfer to Abingdon School Academic Pastoral care The Other Half Our Aims and Ethos About An introduction to Abingdon Prep Meet the Headmaster Head’s Letters Aims and Ethos Virtual Tour New Facilities Organisation Overview Leadership Team Governors Independent Reports School Policies Our History Abingdon Prep in Partnership SPORTS NEWS ● 03 DEC 2021 Rugby vs MCS A culture of care and kindness 29 scholarships & awards to senior schools in the last three years 52% of boys play musical instruments Every boy from Year 3 represents the school at rugby, football and cricket Get in touch Abingdon Preparatory School Josca's House Kingston Road Frilford Oxfordshire OX13 5NX +44(0)1865 391570 Abingdon School: A company limited by guarantee.
