One of our favourite annual traditions is back! Our MacDonald, Macneil and Cameron Clans came together for this year’s Clan Music Competition, showcasing their musical talents through fantastic instrumental performances, singing and their very own clan songs.
There was plenty of talent, teamwork and clan spirit on show, with each clan giving it their all in the hope of taking home the trophy.
But which clan impressed the judges the most?
The winners of this year’s Clan Music Competition are…

ISA CROSS COUNTRY QUALIFIERS | A DAY AT ABBOT’S HILL
Last Friday, we were proud to host the ISA Cross Country Qualifiers, welcoming schools from across the ISA community to Abbot’s Hill for a fantastic day of cross country running.
With our beautiful grounds as the backdrop, competitors took on our challenging course featuring steep hills, varied terrain and some seriously impressive distances! Our drone footage captures just a glimpse of the stunning school site that made such a fantastic setting for the event.
A huge well done to all the runners who took part, and thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success. We were delighted to welcome schools from across the ISA community to Abbot’s Hill!

As we reach the last day of this half term, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate the kindness and generosity of our school community.
As part of our Harvest Festival celebrations, we came together to collect donations for the Foodbank at St Mary’s Church in Apsley, helping to support those in need within our local community. Pupils from both Prep and Senior School helped deliver the generous donations to St Benedict’s Church, demonstrating the importance of kindness, compassion and giving to others.
A huge thank you to all our parents, from Nursery through to Senior School, who kindly contributed items to this worthy cause.
We wish all our pupils, families and staff a restful and relaxing half-term break, and look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed for the next half term!

This Black History Month, we are exploring the UK theme, Honouring Our Communities, reflecting on the people, past and present, who help shape the world around us.
Through assemblies and lessons, our pupils have been learning about the experiences of the Windrush Generation, who came to Britain to help rebuild the country after the Second World War, and the challenges they faced, including racism and discrimination.
We have also been discovering the remarkable contributions of Claudia Jones, who helped give Black Britons a voice and founded the event that grew into Notting Hill Carnival; Baroness Doreen Lawrence, whose tireless campaign for justice following the murder of her son brought attention to racism and failures within the police; and Lord Simon Woolley, a leading anti-racism campaigner who works to improve political representation and empower Black communities.
Alongside these important stories, pupils have been considering what makes a community feel like home: safety, belonging and shared strength. We have explored the importance of everyday heroes, from NHS workers and mentors to teachers, friends and the quiet helpers who make a difference through their care, courage and commitment.
As part of this learning, pupils are being encouraged to recognise and thank those who make a positive difference in their own lives, and to think about how each of us can help build a stronger, more inclusive community.

Last week, the cast of our Senior School production visited Milton Keynes Theatre to see the latest reimagining of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
The production featured a number of bold theatrical ideas, including inventive staging, physical theatre and striking visual effects. It was a valuable opportunity for our students to deepen their understanding of the plot, themes and characters, while gaining inspiration from a professional production.
Although our own interpretation is likely to be very different, the experience has given the cast plenty to think about as rehearsals continue. We’re now well underway with the rehearsal process and look forward to sharing more updates as our production begins to take shape.

40 years ago today, a very special visitor came to Abbot’s Hill.
On 9 October 1986, Her Royal Highness Princess Anne visited the school to officially open our brand-new Prep School Hall, St Nicholas House Hall.
Four decades later, we’re looking back at this memorable moment in Abbot’s Hill history through a wonderful collection of archive photographs and newspaper cuttings, capturing a very special day for our school community.
Today, St Nicholas House Hall remains a much-loved and well-used part of daily life in our Prep School, continuing to bring pupils together for lessons, activities and shared experiences. It’s wonderful to celebrate a building that has played such an important role in school life for 40 years and continues to do so today.
Swipe through the archives and take a step back in time with us!
