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.
Abbot’s Hill School is a day school in Hertfordshire for girls aged 3-16. Our co-ed Nursery for children aged 6 months – 4 years sits on the same site. Our small but vibrant school is unique in so many ways. We consistently achieve superb value-added at GCSE and celebrate excellent academic results alongside the numerous achievements within our wide and varied co-curricular activities too.

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.
