Welcome
Thank you for your interest in the Abingdon Foundation. I am delighted that you are considering working here. As a member of the support staff, you would play a pivotal role in supporting the school to deliver the very best academic, pastoral and Other Half opportunities to our pupils. Please take some time to look at our website , as this will tell you a lot about us and give you a taste of the atmosphere. The Abingdon Foundation is a community of some 1300 students across the two schools. Boarding houses are full with around 150 boarders and the sixth form has around 360 pupils. We employ some 400 teachers and support staff across the Foundation. The Board of Governors oversee the whole Foundation. Abingdon School and Abingdon Preparatory School occupy large and beautiful campuses. The facilities are excellent with recent significant developments including a new Sixth Form Centre, library and Art department and Science Centre. New facilities for the Economics and Business Studies and Computer Science departments opened in 2020 alongside two additional houserooms for the students. In autumn 2023 we also moved into new and refurbished boarding facilities as well as a flexible and beautiful new dining pavilion. We have also added recently to our extensive sport facilities at Tilsley Park and on the school campus which offer some of the best sport resources in the area. The Foundation benefits from a continuous refurbishment and development plan, adding further impressive facilities to a very well- resourced organisation that also prioritises sustainable development. In May 2024, the Abingdon Foundation announced its decision
to move to co-education. We will be welcoming girls to our APS Pre-Prep from September 2024; to Years 3 to 6 in September 2025; to Abingdon’s 1st Year and Sixth Form in September 2026; and to 3rd Year from September 2028. We may be over 760 years old, but we are a forward-looking, dynamic school. There is pride and commitment amongst those who work here, and we always look for high calibre professionals to join us. I hope that you might see yourself joining this happy and purposeful community.
