Abbot’s Hill is a happy and thriving community in which pupils are encouraged to aim high, to grasp opportunities, enjoy learning and make lasting friendships. The school offers an all-round education for girls aged 4-16 years, and the Day Nursery & Pre-School caters for girls and boys from 6 months. Abbot’s Hill’s historic campus offers modern and extensive facilities in a magnificent country setting, situated in over 70 acres of beautiful parkland. Abbot’s Hill has a strong record of academic success. Throughout the school, pupils are taught in genuinely

small classes. Excellent teaching and personalised support ensure that everyone is inspired to exceed their potential and to shine. The broad curriculum is enhanced by a wide range of trips and activities to stimulate learning. Extra-curricular clubs offer a lively balance of music, sports, languages, debating, drama and more. In short, there is something for everyone! At Abbot’s Hill, there is a great focus on pastoral care. We give individual attention to each girl so that she will develop as a person, but also to ensure she succeeds. The sense of being part of an extended family is frequently commented on by

pupils, parents and staff alike. In such a nurturing environment, children grow naturally in confidence, are happy to embrace new challenges and eagerly take on increasing responsibilities. Abbot’s Hill girls progress seamlessly from one stage of education to the next. They become fully equipped to take on the challenges and opportunities life has to offer. “I feel happy sending my daughter to school knowing that she is being given every opportunity to develop into a confident, well-rounded individual.” - Prep School Parent
