'We know that their love of learning and determination to achieve developed from their time at Abbey School.'
Peter & Theresa Rogers
Welcome to Abbey School in Torquay, Devon
Watch the new Abbey School PresentationIf 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. We are a Torbay Nursery, a Torbay Infant School and a Torbay Junior School. We are right here on the spot for you, and you need look no further!
As an independent school educating children in our nursery, infant and junior departments, you will find us small yet dynamic. All of our children are valued and the development of happy and independent learners is our focus. We expect high standards in all we do and are committed to quality care, teaching and learning.
Meet the Team
Mrs Sylvia Greinig
Principal
The main focus of my work lies in helping children to learn how to learn, and amongst everything else we do in our industrious and cheerful primary school, this is something we encourage in all our pupils. My desired outcome for Abbey School is to develop independent learning in all or our pupils. More >

Specialist, Skilled, and Sympathetic Teachers
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.
