Abbot’s Hill School
Abbot’s Hill is a school where one size does not fit all.
We know and value everyone: we know that pupils do better when they are happy and so their wellbeing is our central focus. We know that every pupil will find their own path and so we help them to navigate it alongside dedicated and expert staff, committed to ensuring that each individual thrives.
The School was founded on the present site in 1912 by sisters Alice, Katrine and Mary Baird, who founded the school to educate young women of character. Set in 76 acres of grounds within easy reach of St Albans, Berkhamsted, Kings Langley and the surrounding villages, and with excellent transport links to the M25 and the Euston train line, we pride ourselves on the broad and stimulating education we provide. One foot is firmly rooted in our heritage but the other strides forwards into the future.

Bursaries & Scholarships
We are in the fortunate position to be able to offer a number of small scholarships to Year 7 entrants each year, if there are suitable candidates. Academic Scholarships and Specialist Scholarships in Art, Drama, Music or Sport are available. Scholarships take the form of a percentage reduction of School Fees usually between 5 -10% and are held for the time your daughter remains at Abbot’s Hill, subject to continuous progress judged to be satisfactory in the view of the Head.
Bursaries may be available for pupils applying, particularly for entry to Year 7. In addition the Governors’ Bursary Committee will occasionally consider Bursaries to enable girls to join the Prep School if funds permit.
In common with other fee paying schools, Bursaries are strictly means tested. It is usual for financial support to remain in place throughout a girl’s time at the school, but each award is reviewed annually and adjusted in the light of any changes in financial circumstances. All Bursary information is treated as highly confidential. Members of the teaching staff are unaware which pupils have been awarded Bursarial assistance. Any Bursary offered to a pupil should also remain strictly confidential between the parents and the school.
Applicants with a sibling already at the school receive a sibling discount of 5% until their older sister leaves.
