Our Community

Abbotsholme is a small, friendly school. With its beautiful surroundings, it is a wonderful place in which to learn and develop, where each person’s contribution is properly valued.

We are especially proud of being a community where staff and pupils know each other well and where every individual, whether boarder, day pupil, or member of staff, shares equal responsibility for the community’s well being and progress.

All members of staff are recruited in the knowledge that they are fully committed to our philosophy of developing the whole person and can add value to the school. This means that we are blessed not only with a rich mix of experience and youth but also an enormous amount of talent and enthusiasm.

Abbotsholme places great emphasis on the network of support available for pupils whether day or boarding. Each pupil has an individual tutor who will closely monitor academic and social progress and who liaises regularly with parents. Designated members of staff provide comprehensive university and careers advice and the Health Centre, run by qualified nurses, provides both medical support and counselling.
