Abbot’s Hill continues this year’s run of success in UK independent schools awards, with the announcement that we are a finalist in the ISA Awards 2025 in the category of Excellence and Innovation in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. This comes hot on the heels of our shortlisting in the Independent School of the Year Awards 2025 in the category of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice.
This recognition reflects the collective efforts of our entire school – students, staff, families, and our local community – who have worked tirelessly to create an environment where every individual feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive.
Our Senior School Culture Day, a highlight of the Summer Term, was a vibrant celebration of community diversity. Students and staff explored themes of identity and belonging through meaningful activities designed to ensure everyone felt genuinely valued and respected. The day demonstrated how embracing our differences doesn’t just enrich our school culture—it actively strengthens our creativity, problem-solving capabilities, and collaborative spirit.
At Abbot’s Hill, our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion isn’t just a policy – it’s woven into the very fabric of who we are; we believe that diversity strengthens our community and prepares our students to lead and succeed in an interconnected world.
The winner will be announced in November – fingers crossed!
