We are always so proud of our students and the dedication, determination and hard work they show. Today we are celebrating Willow and Lucy, who, as part of their dance group, had the amazing opportunity to represent Team England at the Global Dance Competition in San Sebastián, Spain over the holidays.
Competing against incredible dancers from across the world, including competitors in older age brackets, they showed just how much talent, commitment and determination they have. To hold their own on an international stage at such a young age is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to the countless hours of hard work that go into their dancing.
We are thrilled to share their results:
Acro Group, 15 to 17 years: 2nd Place, Silver
Jazz Group, 12 to 14 years: 3rd Place, Bronze
Lyrical Small, 12 to 14 years: 4th Place
Lyrical Group, 15 to 17 years: 7th Place
What makes these achievements even more special is knowing that this is just the beginning. We cannot wait to see how much further they will grow, develop and achieve as they continue their dancing journey.
Willow and Lucy, you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. We are so proud of you both and cannot wait to see what comes next.

We’re delighted to finally share our brand new Abbot’s Hill school film with you.
Created to capture the breadth of life at Abbot’s Hill, the film takes you from the classroom to the playing field, from the stage to the science labs, and into the everyday moments that make our school community so special.
Rather than simply telling you about Abbot’s Hill, we wanted to show you what it really feels like to be part of our school. The energy, the opportunities, the friendships, the learning and, most importantly, the wonderful pupils at the heart of it all.
Filming took place across the school last June, and we’re sure many of our families will enjoy spotting themselves, their friends and their teachers on screen!
A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm, both in front of and behind the camera, to help bring this film to life.
We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.
