Welcome to Abbotsholme School, a co-educational independent day and boarding school for pupils aged 2 – 20, set within 140 acres of rural countryside on the Derbyshire and Staffordshire border.
At Abbotsholme School, we embody the principle that every child is not just taught, but known. We are always looking for ways to improve our pupils’ agility with critical thinking, deftness with problem solving and confidence with oracy in a future where these skills will be of paramount importance. Abbotsholme School is a truly unique school, dedicated to ensuring that our pupils are happy, challenged and supported.
Our size is our strength, meaning that every child is not just taught, but known. We take pride in working in partnership with parents to give each child a tailored experience. If you ask our pupils why they chose Abbotsholme School, they would tell you about our equestrian centre, our farm and our passion for outdoor education. Delve a little deeper, and they would say they feel valued, challenged, and at ease with themselves and each other.
A kind school, we look after one another. We are a small school with a big heart!
Our teachers engage our pupils without limits. At the heart of our philosophy is the desire to instil confidence so that, whatever the level, each child makes outstanding progress. Our teachers reach for the top, carefully monitoring progress and encouraging each child to aim high.
Our staff and pupils embody the spirit of Abbotsholme daily and our values of honesty, respect, humility, courage and integrity are reflected in everything we do.
