Also The Manor too please.
Are they full of coffee morning mums driving 4x4's?

My son goes to Abingdon Prep. I am separated, don't earn loads of money and don't rely on my husband to pay. My son loves it, the other parents in my year are great and down to earth. There are huge variations in income and mums working/not working, but you just get on with it and be your own person. There are some very nice parents around too, who help you out.

Update - Ds went to Ab Prep and we all loved the school (he's left now). Best thing we ever did.
Dd however went to The Manor, and we didn't seem to get on with the ethos of the school. She is now back in a local primary school (we have moved house since ds left original primary school).

Not sure what the reference to 4x4s is about. This is rural Oxfordshire and in winter we sometimes can't get out of our village without one, or get through a flooded road. It's not Chelsea. There is a huge range of parent types at the schools. If anything, sometimes it's the schools that sometimes create problems for working parents by scheduling events that start or end during working hours. I think there is a bit of a legacy of assuming that at least one parent is unemployed (as I prefer to put it), with their scheduling. We miss a few things, and can't always let our kids do things due to being limited to activities that start early enough and finish late enough. I wonder if our non-attendance at coffee mornings has been logged?...

OP was asking about this four years ago.

I expect she'll have made you her mind by now.
