Both Abingdon School, and The School of St Helen’s and St Katharine’s had their Open Days today. It give prospective pupils a chance to look round. The secondary playing field was full of cars at Abingdon School. I didn’t get to St Helen’s….
Lots of displays and activities had been laid on to entertain the visitors.
The Brass Band were playing from 11:30 to 12.
Upstairs in the chapel there is a window depicting the Trinity, which was installed in 2004 .
It was designed by the artist Nicholas Mynhee. The fire behind represents the Holy Spirit. Jesus is in the centre with nailed hand upraised in the upper corners. God the Father is represented by all of creation. That is tree, sky, glass….

Back outside, I wandered away from the crowds to look at this garden . Most of the visitors were interested in the curricular and extra-curricular events and not in stained glass windows and flower beds.

Finally here is the 750th anniversary plaque unveiled by Princess Anne a week ago. The 750th was the subject of another post.
