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.

Please browse through the various pages, each of which represents a different aspect of our school or nursery, and the education and care we offer, and get to know us better. For example, Schools In describes in detail the education and teaching offered in our nursery, infant and junior departments as well as some of our achievements. Schools Out tells you about what happens once the school day or term is over in our caring hours and our holiday clubs, plus the hobbies and extra curricular activities children can participate in at Abbey School Torquay.
