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…
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!

Our Year 9–11 pupils have had an incredible time exploring Washington DC and New York, making memories to last a lifetime!
From discovering iconic landmarks and immersing themselves in American history to enjoying a fantastic drama workshop, there was something for everyone. Add in thousands of steps, plenty of laughs, new experiences and, of course, a little shopping along the way, and it really was a trip to remember!
A brilliant few days filled with history, drama, adventure and a little bit of New York magic.
Already wishing we could do it all again!

Our Year 10 Product Design students enjoyed an inspiring trip to the Design Museum and IKEA on Oxford Street, gathering ideas for their upcoming Lamp Design project.
At the Design Museum, they explored innovative designs and discovered how materials, shapes, colours and manufacturing techniques can transform everyday products. A visit to IKEA offered the chance to investigate a huge variety of lighting styles, finishes and effects.
Armed with plenty of photographs, ideas and inspiration, students are now ready to bring their own creative concepts to life!
A brilliant opportunity to experience design first-hand and get those creative ideas flowing.

Our Reception children recently became curious investigators as they set off on an adventure to solve a mystery: how was their magical potion set made?
After enjoying lots of imaginative potion-making in our tuff trays, the children were amazed to discover that their set had been made right here at school! But how?
Armed with their own maps, complete with familiar landmarks such as the tree in Squirrel Woods, the children set off to investigate. Their adventure led them to the Senior School computing suite, where Mrs Cruz Thompson revealed the secret… a 3D printer!
The children were fascinated to see the printer in action, watching as it created another spoon for their potion set, layer by layer. They also explored a range of 3D-printed creations, discovering how computer instructions and a special material called filament can turn an idea into a real object.
It was a wonderful opportunity to follow the children’s curiosity, ask questions and discover how technology can be used creatively. We think their potion set has become even more magical now that they know how it was made!
A huge thank you to Mrs Cruz Thompson for welcoming us and helping us solve our mystery. What a brilliant adventure!

A very special post-holiday surprise!
Following our 40th anniversary celebrations marking the opening of St Nicholas House Hall, we were delighted to return from half term to receive a lovely letter from Buckingham Palace.
Having written to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal to mark the occasion and share memories of her visit to Abbot’s Hill on 9 October 1986, we were thrilled to receive a response from her Private Secretary on her behalf.
The Princess Royal was pleased to hear how the Hall continues to play such an important part in daily life at Abbot’s Hill, bringing pupils together for lessons, activities and special moments throughout the school year. She also kindly sent her best wishes to all our staff and pupils.
A wonderful way to round off our 40th anniversary celebrations, and a lovely piece of Abbot’s Hill history to treasure!
