We are thrilled to open our doors to prospective families for on-site visits so that you can get a true impression of life at Abbot’s Hill School. We are very proud of everything that goes on each day in our classrooms, outside in the 76 acres of parkland and through our extensive co-curricular programme.
Our pupils are always keen to meet prospective families and chat about their experiences at school; we believe they are our best ambassadors! Please see below for the open events that are coming up for each section of the school, or for our Nursery.
In the meantime, we would encourage prospective families to view our virtual 360 tour which allows immersive access to our site, across our grounds and inside some of our key buildings.
Pre-Prep and Nursery
We offer all prospective families the opportunity to schedule an individual tour with our Head of Early Years, Mrs Lucy Daviss, and Nursery Manager (Maternity Cover), Mrs Beth Yiallouros, during the school week.
If you are considering a place for your child to join us in Reception for September 2025 or 2026 we would be delighted to invite you to an open event or a personal tour, which can be booked here. You will have the opportunity to visit the Pre-Prep (up to Year 2), meet the Head of Early Years, Mrs Lucy Daviss, and ask any questions you may have about our school.
Prep School
Prospective families are always warmly welcomed to Abbot’s Hill, either at one of our Open Days, or on a bespoke personal visit.
As part of the Open Day experience, parents will enjoy a pupil-led tour to get a true insight into Prep School life at Abbot’s Hill as well as have the opportunity to tour the wider school site and hear from the Head, Mrs Schanschieff, as well as meet members of the Prep School staff team.
Parents are welcome to come and visit us at a time convenient for them, and can arrange a bespoke tour by contacting the Admissions Team. These visits will include a meeting with the Head as well as a tour of the Prep School, and wider school site if required.
Senior School Open Day
We are always delighted to welcome families to the school and especially proud of our open days.
There are three types of open events available:
Saturday Open Day – Each September, visitors will hear from the Head, deputies and current pupils, followed by the opportunity to explore all subjects, visit many classrooms and enjoy our 76-acre campus in the company of our delightful pupils. Staff, parents and pupils are also available throughout the campus for questions, and our infamous catering team provide a wonderful breakfast for you to enjoy. Our next Open Morning will be held on Saturday 20 September.
Working In Action Open Afternoon – These events take place throughout the year and whilst the school is in session. Parents will hear from the Head, members of the leadership team and current pupils, after which they enjoy a pupil-guided tour around the Senior School. Pupils can join in with various themed activities during the tour. Working open afternoons give visitors an accurate experience of daily school life at Abbot’s Hill. Dates for these events for the academic year 2025/2026 will be published soon.
Bespoke Tours – Parents are welcome to visit us at any time and can arrange a bespoke tour by contacting the Admissions Team.
Please note we invite parents to attend all types of open events if they wish, in order to get a full picture of life at Abbot’s Hill School.
For parents looking for occasional places, please contact the Admissions Team, in the first instance to establish availability.
