We went to the open day and loved what we saw. Hugely impressed by the Headmistress. We are moving into the area so looking at various schools for our DS (currently in Y5). He is very bright, but not child-genius level. He is quite a sensitive soul so needs somewhere with good pastoral cares - and we really want to send him somewhere with a decent moral compass if that doesn't sound too pompous. I liked the fact that 50% (?) of children joining Abingdon at 11+ are from local state primaries and it sounds as if the outreach programme is great. DS not hugely able sportsman, but does enjoy sport. So wondering if there are plenty of C/D teams at Abingdon or if you can't participate unless you are really talented. Any advice or input on anything about the school/levels of pressure etc would be really appreciated.
