At the heart of Abbeyfield we focus on each and every students character; developing key traits that will support them through life.
Our Sixth Form promotes independence, team work and collaboration. Our purpose built facilities help cater to these needs.
Everyone needs mathematics. It is inherently creative, helping to solve some of history’s most intriguing problems, and is critical to science, technology, engineering and finance. Abbeyfield students are taught a tailored curriculum to allow them make the best possible progress and develop a sense of enjoyment, curiosity and appreciation for the elegance of mathematics.
Learn MoreAt Abbeyfield we believe in the role of Geography in understanding and making sense of the world and the challenges it faces. Students will have the opportunity to study and develop the skills needed to make sense of these complex and dynamic situations, equipping them for successful further study and stimulating an interest in and a sense of wonder about people and places.
Learn MoreSociology is unique in its recognition not only that societies shape us, but also that we shape our societies. This latter process is present in all societies and all human groups, but its especially central to democracy in which citizens are explicitly expected to participate in shaping their society. Indeed, without an informed and active citizenry, democracy withers and dies. Therefore it is important to the society as a whole as well as to the self-interest of individual citizens, that we all are afforded a sound understanding based on valid, reliable and systematic evidence.
Learn MoreDrama is a very popular subject here at Abbeyfield School which gives students lots of opportunities to build self-confidence and develop co-operative skills. We support them in their development of creativity and provide the students with an understanding of the craft of drama.
