The Abbey

THE ABBEY is a remarkable multi-awared-winning 3-18 all-girls community of learning and brilliant experiences. It is a place of curiosity, adventurous spirits and the excitement of discovery. We focus on individual care and attention in a warmly supportive atmosphere full of fun and laughter. Our students have the assurance to take risks, explore interests and passions, and engage generously with the world and with each other.

Our results are outstanding, but what matters to us is how students achieve them. Our goal is to equip girls to live with confidence, purpose and joy. This means providing exceptional opportunities across the widest spectrum of learning and activities.

What’s special about The Abbey is the atmosphere. We’re a diverse, down-to-earth community full of enthusiasm, spark and energy. Being in the halls for one lesson, feeling the buzz all around you, gives you a sense of The Abbey spirit.

At the recent Independent School of the Year Awards, where the school was named Independent Girls’ School of the Year, judges summarised The Abbey as a bold and outward-looking school that does good in the world and achieves outstanding outcomes. They also said that everything The Abbey does is full of joy.
