Being happy is not just a fleeting feeling of joy or contentment; it is an essential component of overall well-being and success. This is particularly true for girls at school,…
What an incredible day celebrating the cultures, experiences and traditions that make our school community so unique.
Students immersed themselves in a range of exciting activities, including a vibrant dance workshop, a lively steel pans session, Around the World language bingo, and thought-provoking discussions in Stories Beyond the Stereotypes. We were also honoured to welcome keynote speaker Lola Jaye, who inspired students to celebrate identity, belonging and the power of storytelling.
Our cooking workshops were a huge success, with students preparing delicious dishes from around the world, including Filipino spring rolls and traditional Moroccan tagine. The celebrations continued with our Country Showcase, where classrooms were transformed through a fantastic door decorating competition highlighting countries from across the globe.
The day was a wonderful reminder that by celebrating our differences, we build a stronger, kinder and more vibrant community.
Belonging. Our voices. Our stories. Together.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, so it’s especially meaningful to have been commended in the Independent Schools of the Year Awards for Outstanding Educational Partnerships.
This year, we’ve worked alongside local state and independent schools, charities, care homes and families to create meaningful opportunities that inspire, connect and make a lasting difference.
From welcoming over 600 children from 12 local schools to our free “Come and...” enrichment events, to supporting local primary schools through our pupil mentoring programme, volunteering in care homes, hosting community events and raising funds for charity, our pupils have embraced every opportunity to learn through service and collaboration.
These experiences don’t just benefit our partners, they help our pupils grow into confident, compassionate young people who understand the value of giving back and making a positive impact.
A huge thank you to our pupils, staff, partner schools, charities, families and the wider community. This recognition belongs to all of you, and we’re excited to continue building these partnerships in the years ahead.

And that’s a wrap on another incredible school year!
What a truly memorable year it has been, filled with so many amazing achievements, unforgettable moments, and reasons to celebrate. We couldn’t be prouder of everything our pupils have accomplished and of the dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work shown by our entire school community.
As we head into the summer break, we’d like to wish all of our families, pupils, and staff a wonderful, well-deserved holiday. We hope you all have the chance to relax, make special memories, and enjoy some time together.
A special thank you also goes to the many members of our team who will be working throughout the summer behind the scenes, ensuring everything continues to run smoothly and that our beautiful school is ready to welcome everyone back in September. Your hard work and dedication are truly appreciated.
We’re sharing a few sneak peeks from the many fantastic events that have taken place over the past two weeks, but keep an eye on our social media throughout the summer, as we’ll be sharing full posts and photos from each of these special occasions.
Thank you to everyone who has made this year so special. Have an amazing summer, and we’ll see you in September!

Careers Day at AHS = a day full of inspiration, ambition and opportunity!
Yesterday, our students stepped into the world of work, meeting professionals from an incredible range of industries and discovering where their future could take them.
A huge thank you to our inspirational keynote speaker Ross Priday from Aviation Ambassadors, who captivated students with stories from his remarkable career in the RAF, flying with the Red Arrows and serving as their Chief Engineer. What a way to kick off the day!
From designing their own airline in the British Airways Challenge, to hands-on Medical Mavericks activities, interactive careers workshops, mock interviews and a university panel with former AHS students, every year group had the chance to build confidence, ask questions and explore exciting career pathways.
We’re incredibly grateful to all of our guest speakers and volunteer interviewers who generously gave their time and expertise to inspire the next generation. Your stories, advice and encouragement made a real difference.
A fantastic day filled with learning, ambition and big dreams for the future.

What a fantastic evening at our annual Art Show!
It was wonderful to celebrate the incredible creativity and talent of our students by showcasing galleries of their outstanding GCSE Art and GCSE Photography work (still top secret for now... ).
We also announced the winners of our Artist of the Year competition, with this year’s inspiring theme, “Gathering.” We received so many exceptional entries from across the school, making it an incredibly difficult task for our judges to select the winners. Congratulations to everyone who took part, you should all be so proud of your creativity and imagination.
With the sun shining, a brilliant performance from our talented Year 10 duo, face painting, and delicious food, the evening had such a wonderful atmosphere. It was fantastic to see so many members of our school community coming together to celebrate the arts.
A huge thank you to our amazing Art Department for organising one of our favourite events of the year, and to everyone who helped make the evening such a memorable success. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

History Competition Success!
A select group of our Year 7 and Year 8 students recently represented Abbot’s Hill School at a History Competition hosted by Belmont School. Competing against teams from Belmont School and Keble School, our students entered two Year 8 teams and one Year 7 team.
The girls tackled five exciting rounds, including picture quizzes, “Spot the Odd One Out” and even deciding whether the names of famous battles were real or made up!
The girls had a fantastic time, demonstrated excellent teamwork and impressed us with their historical knowledge. A special congratulations to our Year 7 team, who were the highest-placed Abbot’s Hill team, finishing in an impressive 4th place out of 9 teams!
We are so proud of all the girls for representing the school so brilliantly. Well done to everyone involved!

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.
