This prestigious accolade recognises the exceptional quality of education at Abbot’s Hill and reflects our ongoing commitment to achieving Brilliance in Balance — combining academic ambition, strong pastoral care and a rich co-curricular offering to ensure every pupil is empowered to flourish.
We are immensely proud of our pupils, whose enthusiasm, character and achievements sit at the heart of this success. Also central to the success are our dedicated staff and the wider school community, whose unwavering support and belief in our values make our school the vibrant, nurturing environment it is.

It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff, who are committed to delivering the very best education for every child. It was a privilege to welcome the school into the Mill Hill Education Group, and the professional collaboration between our excellent schools has been rewarded with a flurry of national awards over the last twelve months alone,”
This award is a significant milestone for our school, and we look forward to continuing to inspire curious, confident and compassionate young people in the years ahead.
