Did you know that, at Abbot’s Hill, the girls are placed in a Clan System rather than Houses. From Reception through to Year 11,, the pupils are placed in one…
It was wonderful to welcome back our Class of 2026 to Abbot’s Hill for our GCSE Presentation Evening, as we celebrated their achievements and presented them with their GCSE certificates.
The evening was a lovely opportunity to catch up with our former pupils, hear about their experiences since leaving Abbot’s Hill and celebrate all they have accomplished.
We were delighted to welcome back Cora Graham (née Dunn), former Head Girl (1986–1991), as our guest speaker. Cora shared reflections on her own journey from Abbot’s Hill into working life, and the lasting value of friendships, teamwork and making the most of every opportunity.
The evening also featured beautiful musical performances from our Chamber Choir alongside readings and a moment of thanksgiving.
To our Class of 2026, congratulations! We are incredibly proud of you and wish you every success and happiness as you take your next steps. You will always be part of the Abbot’s Hill community, and we hope to see you back again soon.

U13 Netball
We took on Berkhamsted School in the league, coming away with an impressive 9-4 win! The girls showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout; our shooters were on point, and our defence worked tirelessly to keep Berkhamsted from entering the circle. It was great to see all their work in training paying off
U11 Hockey
Our Yr6s travelled to Beechwood Park where they played some fantastic hockey. It was great to see the girls taking lessons from training and putting them into match play! There was some amazing displays of defending, and awesome attacking moments, with some great goals scored too! There were smiles all round and a great team spirit.
U16 Netball
The girls faced Longdean in the league this week. Everyone worked tirelessly and deservingly AHS walked away with a very close 26-23 win! It was a very exciting game with both teams putting on a very strong performance throughout. We can’t wait to see what the girls do next.
Wycombe Abbey Swim Gala
U15, 13 and 12 took to the pool in the first Wycombe Abbey Swim Gala on Wednesday evening. An amazing 50m backstroke performance saw Orla smash the previous record and setting a strong precedent for the season ahead. The girls put on some very strong relay performances, the individual races saw Abbot`s Hill take home plenty of 1st and 2nd places. It is shaping up to be a very exciting and promising season. We can’t wait to see what they do next!
U13 Football
The girls took on the county champions Kings Langley on Thursday. Despite the result, the team worked hard in and out of possession. A few great shots on target but unfortunately it wasn`t enough to break Kings Langley`s defence. Our goalkeeper Bea pulled off some wonder saves throughout the game. The girls` spirits were high and they battled right to the end. It was great to see what they had been working on in training displayed in a game setting.
U12 Netball
Our Yr7A team took on Longdean in the first round of the cup. It was a tough match but the team played with determination and came away with a win!

This morning, our school community came together for our Service of Remembrance, taking time to reflect, remember and pay tribute to all those who have given their lives in conflicts past and present.
Through readings, prayers, music and a moving Act of Remembrance, we honoured the courage and sacrifice of those who served, remembered those who never returned, and held in our thoughts all those whose lives continue to be affected by conflict.
Our sincere thanks to the visiting Rev’d David Jones for leading the service, and to all the pupils and staff who contributed to such a meaningful occasion. Special thanks to all our choirs for their beautiful singing, and to Grace in Year 6 for playing the Last Post so bravely and beautifully. Your contributions made the service all the more special.
We remember those who sacrificed so much, and renew our hope for a world where future generations may live in peace.
We will remember them.
It’s been a busy and delicious few weeks at Baking Club! From Halloween-inspired spider web biscuits and cupcakes, using piped chocolate and the feathering technique, to making s’mores traybake and toffee apples for Bonfire Night, our budding bakers have been busy creating some seasonal treats.
Now it’s time to turn their attention to something a little more festive, as pupils get started on our famous Christmas cakes ahead of the much-loved traditional competition! We can’t wait to see their creations!

Celebrating Our Lexia League!
We shared the results of our six-week Lexia League Challenge today, celebrating the fantastic effort and commitment shown by pupils across the whole school.
Our values of Getting Involved and Showing Curiosity were very much on display as children embraced the challenge: how many Lexia units could they complete over six weeks? There was great enthusiasm, focus and determination as pupils worked hard to develop their reading skills.
A huge well done to Beth, who secured third place, and Indie, who came second.
An extra special congratulations goes to Elliot, who completed a staggering 157 units! Elliot now goes forward to represent Abbot’s Hill in the national competition against pupils from other Lexia schools.
At Abbot’s Hill, all pupils have the opportunity to follow a personalised reading programme through Lexia Core5, where learning is tailored to individual needs, allowing young minds to be both challenged and supported as they develop their reading skills.
We are proud of everyone who took part. Now we wait to see how Elliot gets on in the national competition – could he be a national winner? Watch this space!

Our pupils have been exploring the traditions and celebrations of Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, through a wonderful range of learning experiences across the school.
We were delighted to welcome Alison from Bhaktivedanta Manor, who shared the meaning and traditions behind Diwali, including the story of Rama and Sita, helping pupils understand the significance of this important festival.
In Nursery, our youngest pupils have been getting creative, exploring the magic of light and colour through beautiful Diwali-inspired artwork, as well as enjoying the opportunity to sample some delicious traditional food.
A lovely opportunity to learn about different cultures and traditions, celebrate diversity and discover the stories behind the festivals enjoyed by communities around the world.
Wishing everyone in our community celebrating Diwali a very happy Diwali!
