Abbey School - in a Nutshell
We are an independent day school and
nursery for girls and boys from
birth to 11 years, situated in St. Marychurch, Torquay, Devon, UK
If you have a young family to
educate and
live in Torbay, South Devon in the
South West peninsula of England, you are very fortunate for more than
geographic reasons. At the heart of St. Marychurch in Torquay is Abbey School, a
happy and
flourishing Independent preparatory day school and nursery. We provide
excellent all-round education for infant and junior children to 11 years, and
early-years nursery care for babies and pre-school children. You
need look no further!

Abbey teachers are skilled and sympathetic,
are specialists in the field of primary and nursery education and more than that, understand how
young children learn. Over many successful years our school has developed a
meticulously planned and proven educational
programme that is delivered in a stimulating, caring and safe environment.
This supports the development and learning of ALL pupils, whatever their
individual requirements, throughout their nursery, infant and junior years. A steady 'gearing upwards' of academic
standards is thus achieved, with children
throughout the school producing exceptional academic results year on year.
At the same time as Abbey School is supporting
the academic learning of all pupils, with such as our newly upgraded computer
suite, we also offer outstanding opportunities for appropriate physical,
emotional and social development. Many pupils become skilled in extra curricular
subjects including drama, chess, dance, sports and music. Recent major
developments have added a remarkable multi-purpose hall with theatre seating and
lighting, a climbing wall and a wonderful space for indoor sports, assemblies
and productions. All this is supported by an indoor swimming pool that is the
envy of all.
