Abingdon School entrance guide
Situated south of Oxford and near the Thames, Abingdon School provides both boarding and day options for senior school boys, including Sixth Form. Like many boarding schools it has a long history, with educational provision being traced back to the 12th century. These days however, the school boasts a modern curriculum underpinned by a caring atmosphere. Like many of independent schools there is an emphasis on extracurricular activities, so much so, it has it’s own term “The Other Half”. This includes the Abingdon film unit and is born out amongst the school’s alumni. Famous ‘Old Abingdons’ include actor Tom Hollander, members of the band Radiohead and comedian David Mitchell.
Amy was an amazing tutor to my two boys while we were based in London. I have just received feedback from my son’s school teacher that the work Amy taught him while we were away had extended him beyond the curriculum and she was super impressed with what he had learned! Lovely person, we are thankful to her. Highly recommend.
My daughter was very close to her Science GCSEs and had asked us to arrange a couple of months tuition for her to increase her confidence and help her to increase her grades by a point or two. I was delighted and relieved by how quickly I was put in touch with John and how quickly we were able to schedule sessions. I shared her mock papers with him and he was able to pinpoint where to target his sessions providing her with relevant practice questions in the interim. She came out of Chemistry saying it was the best exam of her life ! Thanks John for delivering exactly what we needed. Will not hesitate to reach out to Owl in the future.
