The Abbey School offers a very special learning environment, vibrant but disciplined, forward-looking yet building on a very long tradition of excellence, with our commitment to single-sex education for girls central to our ethos. Our excellent examination results ensure that girls are able to gain entry to the universities and colleges of their choice, while our emphasis on pastoral care ensures that all pupils have the happiest educational experience possible during their time with us.

Significant developments to our already outstanding facilities, alongside numerous exciting initiatives that have given us an increasingly international profile, enable us to continue offering the best in girls' education into the 21st century.

The Abbey has come to embody education in the broadest and most exciting terms, with an outstanding range of opportunities for all. While our extra-curricular programme incorporates music, drama and sport, all performed to the very highest level, there are countless more unusual activities in addition, as well as many visits throughout this country and abroad, all helping to ensure Abbey pupils receive the most rounded education possible.

The atmosphere of any school is determined by the people who populate it, and this is especially true of The Abbey. It is the vibrancy and energy of our girls, the independence of mind and the commitment to learning shown by every student and the dedication and support of our outstanding staff that makes The Abbey simultaneously such a warm and exciting school environment.

We take great care to offer places to those pupils who will benefit most from the special experience that is The Abbey and we are committed to ensuring the best possible applicants are able to take up places at our school, regardless of their background and are expanding our provision of means-tested Bursaries.
