People On Abbotsholme |
|
‘We have had more than just teachers of Maths,
Science and English. They have taught us about the key aims
of Abbotsholme: independence, creativity, individualism and
friendship. They have also taught us what may be the most important
lessons of our school career – how to be ourselves.’
