ABOUT US
High-class academic education is delivered by dedicated, supportive staff.
A wealth of opportunities, set in 90 acres of inspiring grounds, allows pupils to explore the full range of their talents, however, the most important thing that we give the children at Abberley is their childhood.
Small class sizes, high-quality classroom teaching and committed pastoral
care ensure that at Abberley the teachers really know and understand the children as individuals. There is a strong culture of performance and participation encouraged right from the beginning. All our children get regular opportunities to perform in the sporting, theatrical, musical and public speaking arenas. Abberley enables children to build life-long friendships and prepares them
for success in a global and changing world.
AIMS
To provide a broad all-round education in the academic sphere; in a range of sports, in the creative arts, and with a firm social grounding. We aim for the pupils to leave our school with a sense of independence, self-belief and initiative. We believe that learning should be an exciting experience and we strive to be truly innovative whilst maintaining a strong academic ethos and offering support for those who need it.
ETHOS
Our belief is that every child should be treated as an individual, and we encourage pupils to develop an understanding of their particular strengths, while enjoying their childhood and developing firm friendships. We aim to teach pupils the benefits and pleasures derived from being part of a strong community with a shared set of values; namely – honesty, endeavouring to try one’s hardest, mutual respect and support, and a commitment to the school community.
