The Abbey is a remarkable all-girls community of learning and scholarship. It is a place of curiosity, adventurous spirits, and the excitement of discovery. We foster an atmosphere of warmth and support, full of fun and laughter. As a result we develop the assurance for students to take risks, explore interests and passions, and engage generously with the world in our girls-only environment.

Our outlook is internationally-minded and collaborative. Our goal is to prepare students to live with confidence, purpose, and joy. To support this philosophy we offer International Baccalaureate programmes at our Junior School and Sixth Form.

This means providing exceptional single-sex opportunities across the widest spectrum of curricular and co-curricular activities. Our job is to find, encourage and broaden each individual’s talents and interests. Therefore it is a privilege to witness our students’ liveliness of mind and help that to develop as they become resilient young people with the enthusiasm and tenacity to make a difference.
