What a wonderful way to round off the school year! Our Senior School Commemoration Day was a celebration of achievement, talent and the many memorable moments that have made this year so special.
We were delighted to welcome our guest speaker, Musharaf Asghar, who shared his inspiring story of overcoming challenges and encouraged our pupils to believe in themselves, embrace resilience and never give up on their ambitions. We also enjoyed a beautiful performance from our choir and a brilliant snippet from this year’s fantastic production of The Addams Family.
The presentation of cups, plates and certificates celebrated the many achievements of our pupils, while the passing of leadership roles to our new Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl marked an exciting moment for the year ahead. We also said a fond farewell to our Class of 2026, with each leaver receiving their very own Abbot’s Hill bear, a special keepsake to remind them that they will always be part of our community as they embark on their next adventures.
A huge thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the day such a success, from our Grounds, Music, Drama and Catering teams to all the staff and pupils who helped create such a memorable occasion.
Congratulations to all of our award winners, and to the Class of 2026, we wish you every success and happiness for the future. Once an Abbot’s Hill pupil, always part of the Abbot’s Hill family.

✨ Last Night Supper 2026 ✨
A truly magical evening celebrating our Year 11 leavers at our much-loved Last Night Supper. 🌿🧚🦋
This year’s whimsical theme of fairies and butterflies transformed the beautiful Main House and Library into an enchanting setting, thanks to the incredible creativity and dedication of our parents and staff. Every detail helped create a night our girls will never forget.
From enjoying their favourite food from their time at Abbot’s Hill to dancing the night away and reminiscing about the friendships, laughter, and memories they’ve made over the years, it was a wonderful way to mark the end of this chapter.
We are so proud of each and every one of our Year 11 leavers and all they have achieved. As they spread their wings and begin exciting new adventures, we know they will always have a place in the Abbot’s Hill family. 💙
A special thank you to all the staff who have been part of their journey, inspiring, supporting, and encouraging them every step of the way, and to our wonderful parents for helping make this magical evening possible.
Congratulations, Year 11! We can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you. ✨

🏐 Netball
🥍 Lacrosse
🏏 Cricket
🏃 Cross Country
🏃♀️ Athletics
🏊 Swimming
⛷️ Skiing
🐎 Equestrian
⚽ Football

Senior Sports Day 2026 ☀️🏅
What a fantastic day at Jarmans Park as our senior students came together for another brilliant Sports Day.
From the excitement of the track events to the determination shown in the field competitions, students gave their all, demonstrating resilience, teamwork and plenty of Clan spirit throughout the day.
One of the biggest highlights, as always, was our much-loved caterpillar race, which has firmly become a Sports Day tradition.
The fun didn’t stop there, with staff proving they were great sports by taking to the track for the annual teachers’ sprint race, in fancy dress!
A huge well done to everyone who competed, cheered on their clan and helped make the day such a success. Thank you to our PE department and all the staff who made the event possible.
