"Abbot's Hill Nursery has been a wonderful place for our daughter. The staff are incredibly attentive and clearly put a lot of care into what they do. There's a real attention to detail in how they support the children, and it's obvious that they genuinely care about creating a nurturing and engaging environment."

Year 7 & 8 students enjoyed an action-packed residential trip to the Isle of Wight, filled with exciting activities, new experiences and lasting memories.
From exploring The Needles Sand Shop, visiting a local wildlife sanctuary and discovering the history of Osborne House, to challenging themselves with activities such as abseiling, Jacob’s Ladder, archery tag and so much more, every day brought a new adventure.
The trip wasn’t just about trying new things – it was also about building confidence, overcoming challenges and strengthening friendships. It was wonderful to see students supporting one another, stepping outside their comfort zones and making memories that will last a lifetime.
A huge thank you to all of the teachers who made this incredible trip possible, and to the students who shared their wonderful memories and experiences with us.

Our Drama Department spent a brilliant day at Gaddesden Row Primary School, running a theatre workshop with Years 4, 5 and 6. The pupils got stuck into reimagining Little Red Riding Hood, writing their own scripts, playing with characters, and finding fresh ways to tell a story everyone thought they knew.
Armed with props, costumes and a green screen, they took turns as actors, directors and storytellers, building scenes together and bouncing ideas off each other. There was plenty of noise, plenty of laughs, and some genuinely surprising creative choices.
It’s always a privilege to spend time with young people who throw themselves into performance without hesitation, and a reminder of why we love doing this work.

This year’s Rising 4 and Pre-Prep Sports Day brought an exciting new feel as the event moved from the Front Lawn to the athletics track for the very first time.
A new middle-distance race was introduced, giving our young athletes the opportunity to demonstrate their stamina and determination. It was wonderful to see them rise to the challenge and give their very best.
Having our Rising 4 and Pre-Prep pupils together created a fantastic atmosphere and a real sense of progression, allowing families and staff to reflect on just how far the children have come on their journey through the school.
Stickers were awarded to those achieving 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, with ‘Well Done’ stickers presented to every participant in recognition of their effort and participation.
A huge thank you to all our staff for their support throughout the day, and especially to our PE Department for their hard work in planning and delivering such a successful event.
Well done to all our young athletes for making the day such a memorable occasion!

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.

THE HEROES BEHIND THE COSTUMES
Today we celebrate the heroes behind the costumes.
The teachers who inspire a love of learning, encourage ambition, build confidence and help every pupil believe in their potential.
The teachers who offer support when it’s needed, celebrate success, provide reassurance through challenges and create opportunities for young people to thrive.
Your dedication, kindness and commitment shape lives in ways that often cannot be measured, but are never forgotten.
On National Thank a Teacher Day, we thank you for the extraordinary difference you make every day.
