Welcome to Abbot’s Hill School
Our school was founded over 100 years ago by the Baird sisters who sought to provide an ‘education of character’ for young women. This desire and the accompanying motto ‘vie et virtute – through strength and valour’ to us encapsulates the courageous, caring and ambitious young women that make up our community at Abbot’s Hill School.
From September 2025 our School will be coeducational in Nursery through to Year 6 (*) and an all-girls setting from Year 7-11. Set within 76-acres of stunning school grounds on the outskirts of Hemel Hempstead, Abbot’s Hill offers our students the space to be inspired, to be authentic, and to achieve their academic aspirations. Our exceptional facilities include a Forest School, swimming pool, sports hall, science labs, theatre, and so much more. We take pride in nurturing both academic excellence and personal growth in a healthy, supportive, and positive environment.

Mission, Vision and Values
Mission
To foster a community in which all individuals are happy and inspired to live purposeful and fulfilling lives while remaining true to our founding values of strength and character.
Vision
A first choice school with outstanding environments in which to work, learn and play. We embrace diversity and provide an education fit for the modern world by challenging everyone in our community to be confident in who they are, develop strength of character and to become active, compassionate citizens who make significant and lasting contributions to others throughout their lives.
Values
We have developed our beliefs and behaviours as a whole community into a set of values and actions that guide our Prep and Senior Schools. Each year, these values are reviewed as a collective community of children and staff to ensure that they reflect our ethos and vision.
Fees
Basic fees are inclusive of all GCSE examination fees (excluding re-sits), textbooks, stationery, lunch, games, dancing lessons (except Ballet) and tuition on the recorder. Optional tuition can be arranged through the school in a variety of musical instruments. Speech and Drama and additional coaching in certain sports, such as skiing, is available. All these activities will be charged in addition to the basic fees.
School Fees are payable on or before the first day of term for which they are due. The Offer Letter and Acceptance Form give rise to a legally binding agreement which takes effect when the Acceptance Form and deposit are received by the school. Parents should note that on accepting a place, they become liable for the first term’s fees if they subsequently do not take it up.
