About Abbot's Hill School
Abbot’s Hill is an all through, inclusive independent day school with the Nursery, Prep and Senior Schools on the same site. We welcome boys and girls in our Nursery and girls from 3-16 years.
Set in 76 acres of rolling Hertfordshire parkland with far reaching views across the Gade Valley, the school benefits from an open, expansive environment in which our pupils learn, explore and play. Pupils flourish here: the surroundings afford a safe-haven for discovery and experimentation while the energy and opportunity of London is only a stone’s throw away.
Founded over 100 years ago to educate young women of character, the school places great value on the development of the individual. Those girls lucky enough to come here will leave as confident, ambitious and creative individuals.
The ISI Inspection in January 2020 acknowledged Abbot’s Hill as ‘excellent’ in both the academic and personal development of the pupils – the highest judgement possible.
