Open Events and Visits

There are many ways to get a taste of life at Abbot’s Hill – whatever you choose, you can be sure of a warm welcome. 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, and our pupils are always keen to meet prospective families and chat about their experiences at school.  We know that our pupils are our very best ambassadors!

Of course, we are always happy to arrange Private Tours if you would rather – please also use the form below to request a visit.

Please see below for details about forthcoming events.

School in Action Morning, Tuesday 28 April 10.00-12.00

See our school as it really is — on a normal school day

The best way to get a true feel for our school is to visit when it’s buzzing with everyday life. Our School in Action Morning offers prospective families the chance to experience our 4–16 school in full flow — from lively lessons and creative spaces to the warm, purposeful atmosphere that makes our community so special.

During the morning, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, guided tour of the school while lessons are taking place, with opportunities to:

  • Drop in on classes across the age range (4–16) and see teaching and learning in action
  • Chat with pupils and staff to hear first-hand what life here is really like
  • Explore our facilities and grounds and get a sense of the opportunities on offer
  • Enjoy refreshments and meet other visiting families
  • Hear from the Head and key members of staff, with plenty of time for questions

Whether you’re just beginning your search or already considering your next steps, this is a friendly, informative morning designed to help you feel confident about what matters most: how your child will learn, grow and thrive here.

Please use the form below to book your place:

Saturday Open Day – Saturday 19 September 2026

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.
