Drama Showcase

Posted: 18th March 2026

Our recent Drama Showcase was a wonderful celebration of talent across the school. The evening was run by our Drama Captain, Sophia, a role that is a real privilege to be selected for in Year 11. As part of their role, they work with students who want to perform, supporting them through rehearsals and preparations for the showcase.

On the night, students from Years 7–11 took to the stage, performing a variety of short monologues, duologues, and a group piece from our Act-Up Drama group. The programme also included LAMDA performances and explored a wide range of genres, giving every performer a chance to shine.

It was a fantastic evening of creativity and confidence, overseen and supported by our dedicated Drama staff, and a great reminder of the vibrant performing arts community in our school.

What a weekend on our Silver DofE expedition.

Swindon sunshine and some very stylish sunhats kicked things off on Saturday followed by a full day of walking and camp cooking.

Sunday brought an unforgettable wake up call from a very loud donkey but the girls smashed their first independent walk with resilience and teamwork then topped it off with their own talent show.

Monday meant packing up the dreaded Trangia clean and celebrating Luisa’s birthday before a brilliant Ridgeway walk finishing early and earning well deserved ice creams.

Huge thanks to A Z Expeditions and the amazing Matt Kristy Phil and Carole So proud of the girls.

A glimpse into rehearsals at the end of last term, as our GCSE Drama students prepared for their scripted exam, Be My Baby by Amanda Whittington. Students specialised as either actors or designers, bringing to life the story of two girls sent to a 1960s mother-and-baby home, a powerful and emotional exploration of stigma, friendship, and loss.

We’re so proud to share some exciting news…

Abbot’s Hill Day Nursery has been recognised as a Top 20 Rated Nursery in the East of England!

We had a vision: calm smiles, everyone looking at the camera, award held perfectly…
Reality: one upside down logo, three children mid-giggle, and at least one determined to face the wrong way.

Honestly, we think this version sums us up much better!

This award means so much to us, as it reflects the care, dedication, and passion our team brings every single day, and the wonderful children and families who make our nursery such a special place to be.

Thank you for being part of our community and for your continued support.

Adventure came to life at our Come and Explore Day.

We loved welcoming children from local schools for a hands on day in the great outdoors, taking part in orienteering, survival skills, cooking on open fires, forest school activities, and creating with sustainability in mind.

Throughout the day, everyone had the chance to build essential outdoor skills, stepping out of their comfort zones and embracing new challenges.

If you would like to experience life at Abbot’s Hill, why not join us for a guided tour of our Prep and Senior School and see our vibrant classrooms, inspiring teachers, and happy learners in action. Visit our website: abbotshill.herts.sch.uk to book a place at our next event on 28 April 2026.

Year 7 Wellbeing Club celebrated World Earth Day by exploring our beautiful school grounds.

They spent time slowing down, noticing the signs of spring and appreciating the natural beauty all around us. From blossoming flowers to fresh greenery, it was a reminder of how powerful nature can be for our wellbeing.

We’ll be using some of the amazing photos captured today to create a display, promoting how connecting with nature can support our mental health and happiness.

We are incredibly proud of the inspiring careers guidance offered here at our school, led by our Head of Pathways, Mrs Evans. She regularly welcomes guest speakers to share their unique career journeys with our students, opening their eyes to the many different paths their futures could take.

Our latest Careers & Cake session was a fantastic success, with guest speaker Rachael Rowland sharing her journey from banking into a thriving career in HR. Her story highlighted just how varied and flexible career paths can be, leaving our students feeling motivated and inspired.

These sessions are a brilliant opportunity for students to hear real-life experiences, build confidence, and start thinking ambitiously about their futures.

We are also excited to be hosting a Future Opportunities Fair, where companies, colleges and training providers will be invited to host stalls. Students from across the school will have the chance to explore a wide range of pathways, ask questions, and gain valuable insight into their next steps.

We are always looking for new speakers and organisations to get involved. If you would be interested in inspiring our students or taking part in upcoming events, we would love to hear from you!
