Midsummer Mischief at Abbot’s Hill

We invite boys and girls currently in Years 4 and 5 to step into an afternoon of mystery, creativity and discovery at Abbot’s Hill School

Inspired by the mischievous world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this interactive event will give children the chance to explore senior school life through a series of exciting hands-on challenges led by our teachers.

From solving Puck’s hidden clues to creating woodland-inspired feasts and experimenting with dramatic sound effects, pupils will work together, try something new and experience the energy and imagination at the heart of life at Abbot’s Hill.

Designed for curious, creative and adventurous Year 4 and 5 boys and girls, Midsummer Mischief at Abbot’s Hill is the perfect opportunity to meet new friends, explore the school and discover what makes Abbot’s Hill so special.

This event is on Saturday 20 June from 2.00 to 4.00pm.

Parents are invited to drop their child off, and return at 4.00pm for Midsummer Tea.

Booking is essential; please complete the booking form below:

Our Year 10 DofE explorers have just completed their Silver DofE Qualifying Expedition – walking an incredible 58km over 3 days from Ditchling Beacon through the Sussex countryside.

From blisters, sunburn, flies, and very long days of walking to camping, cooking, route planning, and the infamous Trangia clean-up, every student showed outstanding resilience and determination throughout.

Despite the physical and mental challenges, they kept going, supported one another, and achieved something they should all be incredibly proud of.

And the best part? Everyone passed! 🎉

We couldn’t be prouder of this amazing group. A huge thank you to Matt and Lou from A-Z Instructors for all their support along the way.

Students completing the Abbot’s Hill Independent Project in Year 7 develop valuable skills that will benefit them throughout their education and beyond. Through researching and analysing information, thinking critically, solving problems, managing a project, and presenting their findings, students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and develop greater independence.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Abbot’s Hill Independent Project is the wide range of topics students can explore. Whether investigating scientific discoveries, social issues, technological innovations, history, the arts, or a personal interest, students have the freedom to pursue subjects that genuinely inspire them. This year’s projects covered an impressive variety of topics, from Are fast fashion brands bad for the environment? and The Cost of Living Crisis to How are giant pandas influencing China’s political relationships? and How much sleep does the average child need? The project helps students become confident, independent learners while fostering curiosity and a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom.

Congratulations to our Year 7 students, who have completed some wonderful projects this year. To celebrate their achievements, they were presented with certificates and enjoyed a hot chocolate together.

Year 4 and Year 5 had a wonderful trip to the Cranedale Centre in North Yorkshire this term. They took part in a range of activities including a walk through a dry river bed, river dipping for minibeasts and fish, low ropes, birdwatching for puffins and rock pooling on the beach looking for crabs. We all had such an amazing time, the children even got to buy some cuddly toys from the onsite shop. It was a great adventure helping them team build and make new friendships and memories.

It’s been a busy few weeks in Careers, we welcomed in Bhini Phagura for our final Careers & Cake of the academic year, an inspiring journey into law with brilliant student questions. We cannot wait to welcome our next guest speakers starting in September.

Year 10 excelled in their work experience placements, ranging from Harry Potter to nurseries… what a week. They did the school proud with their exceptional behaviour, work ethic and confidence.

And we’re not done yet… Careers Day is coming on 30 June with sectors including aviation, NHS, law, creative industries, marketing and more coming in to do workshops with Year 9 and 10. They will also have the incredible Medical Mavericks coming in to talk all things careers in health. Year 7 and 8 will embark on the British Airways Challenge to create their own airline of the future – there will be prizes to be won.

Year 8 Drama pupils enjoyed an exciting outdoor lesson inspired by the Grimm Tales, bringing classic fairy tales to life in a creative and imaginative way. Swapping the classroom for the open air, pupils used the amphitheatre as their stage.

The pupils explored how traditional stories can be adapted for contemporary audiences, using storytelling techniques to create their own unique versions of these well-known tales. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they developed original ideas and brought their performances to life in such an engaging setting.

Bonjour!

Our Reception children enjoyed a wonderful French-themed breakfast this week and were transported to their very own French restaurant experience!

The children had the opportunity to put their French learning into practice by ordering their breakfast in French and using their best manners. Having worked hard on their French throughout the year, it was fantastic to see them confidently using their language skills in a real-life setting.

The morning was filled with lots of fantastic French speaking. And of course, starting the day with a delicious pain au chocolat was a definite highlight – that’s always a yes from us!

Très bien, Reception!
