Abingdon School had an open day last Saturday morning. It was a chance for prospective pupils to view lessons in progress – lessons continue through Saturday mornings. It was also a chance to look round the sports hall opened last autumn. I hoped to take some pictures but, having spoken to a number of staff, that was not to be. In this day and age you cannot be too careful.

I was sent this picture of the outside of the new cedar-clad hall. More pictures of the sports hall can be seen on the school’s website .
