Abbot's Hill School

Abbot’s Hill is a small, independent school that educates girls from Nursery to GCSE and boys from Nursery to Reception. The School, which was founded in 1912, is situated in 76 acres of parkland on the edge of Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. The main building is a spacious and comfortable 19th Century house, which, combined with purpose built teaching blocks provides our pupils with first class facilities.

We place great emphasis on providing a complete and balanced education. Class sizes are deliberately kept small, allowing individual attention from staff members which in turn helps to ensure that pupils are well motivated and eager to learn. Each pupil is actively encouraged to achieve his or her potential, and parent-teacher relationships are excellent in this warm and enabling environment. Excellent results are achieved that are commensurate with pupil ability and can be seen as a reflection of the School’s success.

At Abbot’s Hill we have a strong tradition of developing the academic and creative talents, social skills and confidence of each of our pupils. Many activities and clubs are held outside of school and these vary in range from Dance, Art, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Music, Speech and Drama, in addition to all sports, including skiing. A new performing arts and sport facility opened at the beginning of September 2007.
