Welcome to Abingdon House Prep School, South Kensington
At Abingdon House School, we pride ourselves on creating a nurturing and supportive environment where academic development and personal growth go hand-in-hand. As the Headteacher, I’m delighted to welcome you to our vibrant school community.
At the heart of our Prep School curriculum is our integrated therapeutic approach, which seamlessly combines academic learning with support from occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, and mental health experts. Our multidisciplinary team of educators and therapists work closely together to deliver lessons that address each pupil’s academic, personal, and social development. This approach ensures that therapeutic interventions, such as life and social skills development, are woven into the fabric of daily learning, helping every child reach their full potential.
Our holistic curriculum is built on a foundation of core subjects, including English and maths, while also offering a wide range of engaging subjects such as science, humanities, creative arts, PE, and food technology. This ensures that pupils gain the knowledge and skills they need to excel academically, while also nurturing passion and skills in a diverse range of creative and practical subjects.
We are committed to guiding each child on their individual journey whether that leads to progression to a mainstream or other specialist school, or continuing their education with us at Abingdon House Senior School.
At Abingdon House School, we believe that building self-esteem, self-confidence, and resilience is just as important as academic achievement. Our trauma-informed, positive behaviour support approach creates a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
We celebrate the individual accomplishments of each and every student, fostering a sense of pride and belonging within our school community. Whether your child is interested in sports, the arts, or pursuing a more vocational pathway, we will work closely with you to identify and nurture their unique strengths and interests.
As an independent school located in the heart of London, we are fortunate to have access to a wealth of educational and cultural resources beyond our school walls. Our pupils regularly venture out to Hyde Park, local recreational facilities, museums, and galleries, ensuring that their learning is enriched by the vibrant opportunities our city has to offer.
I warmly invite you to visit our school and experience the Abingdon House difference for yourself. Our dedicated team of educators and therapists are committed to providing an exceptional, tailored education that empowers each child to reach their full potential. I look forward to welcoming you and discussing how we can support your child’s unique learning journey.
