Prep Trips

At Abbot’s Hill, we know that some of the most powerful learning happens beyond the classroom. School trips spark curiosity, strengthen understanding and create the kind of joyful memories children treasure for years. Whether it’s seeing a historic artefact for the first time or exploring a new environment with friends, trips help bring learning vividly to life.

Pupils in the Prep School at Abbot’s Hill enjoy a rich programme of educational visits designed to broaden horizons and deepen subject knowledge. From going back in time at Windsor Castle or Hampton Court, to discovering the magic of live theatre or the exploring the natural world at Kew Gardens, each experience adds a new dimension to their learning.

Residential trips take place from Year 4, providing opportunities to develop essential life skills such as teamwork, independence and resilience. These adventures encourage pupils to step outside their comfort zone, build confidence and embrace new challenges.

At Abbots Hill, every trip is an opportunity — to learn, to grow and to see the world through fresh eyes.

Come and Visit Us

Come and visit us to get a taste of what Abbot's Hill can offer your child! We run Open Events throughout the year, and also welcome families into school throughout term time for private tours and meetings with the Head. Get in touch with our Admissions Team to book your chosen visit.

Our Clan Dance Competition was an incredible showcase of talent, teamwork, and dedication.

Our senior students have been working hard, practising and rehearsing to come together and deliver some amazing performances. The competition was tough, and every clan shone on stage, bringing energy, creativity, and spirit to their routines.

A huge congratulations to this year’s winners, Macneil.

Thank you as well to our Marketing Club for putting together such a fantastic reel and capturing the event so brilliantly.

We were delighted to welcome local historian Richard Westwood to Abbot’s Hill School to speak with our Year 6 students about the rich history of our site.

The visit, kindly arranged by Mrs Kneller, gave the girls a fascinating insight into John Dickinson, who built Abbot’s Hill as a family home, and how it has evolved into the school we know today.

Students also enjoyed learning about our Observatory, which once housed a telescope, adding another layer to the school’s unique heritage.

The girls showed great curiosity throughout the talk, asking thoughtful questions and engaging enthusiastically with the stories shared. It was a wonderful opportunity to bring local history to life.

This year’s Head Girl Hustings saw a fantastic group of Year 10 students take to the stage, each sharing their own inspiring vision for leadership. Their speeches reflected the values at the heart of our community, confidence,
compassion, ambition and integrity, and a real commitment to making a positive difference.

The final decision will be announced tomorrow morning during Mark Reading, and we could not be prouder of every student who took part. Each candidate showed remarkable courage, authenticity and passion throughout the process.
A huge congratulations to all involved. We cannot wait to reveal our new Head Girl.

The Easter Bunny paid a special visit to our school today.

Wind and hail showers could not stop the fun as everyone set off on an exciting Easter egg hunt. There was also a competition to see who could collect the most eggs, and the Macneil clan were victorious.

To finish the day, every child received a delicious chocolate egg.

A big thank you to AHSPA for helping keep the Easter Bunny well stocked with eggs. We are very grateful for your support.
