學習的重點是培養學生有信心挑戰和提問，在方法上具有創造力和彈性，並且是反思性學習者，有信心在課堂之外應用他們的技能和知識。
我們會仔細追蹤個人進步並與學生討論，並提供適合每個孩子的支持和挑戰。強大的家校聯繫是我們學校的核心，全年都會舉辦各種家庭活動。
我們預科學校專注於戶外學習，使學生能夠透過各種挑戰應用關鍵技能，從而增強力量並考驗勇氣。我們廣泛的課程和多樣化的強化計劃確保每個孩子都能找到許多可以取得成功的領域，從而增強自信，讓學生準備好承擔風險並隨時嘗試新事物。
我們自然升讀高中的過程可以保證技能的連續性和進步，並發展根深蒂固的學校價值觀，使我們的學生成為受人尊重、自信和快樂的孩子，具有堅強的道德和領導能力。這個堅實的基礎幫助學生為未來的挑戰做好準備，讓他們充滿信心和自信，在校內外享受充實而豐富的生活。
小型學校社區確保工作人員了解學生及其需求，從而使學生能夠以適合其學習的方式充分參與，從而培養他們充分利用未來機會的能力。
品格發展是高中生活的重要組成部分。重要的是，學生要了解學校的核心價值——誠實、謙遜、勇氣、正直和尊重。這種道德核心對於每個學生的學術、創造力、文化和社會發展至關重要，使他們能夠成為成熟、獨立的個體，為下一步做好準備。
我們賦予學生雄心勃勃、堅定和獨立的信心，以便他們能夠自己發現自己的潛力。我們提倡一個既嚴格又支持性的學習環境。學生應該了解自己的學習並對其負責，並立志成為最好的人。
六年級學生在態度、外表和承諾方面都是學校的榜樣，確保阿博茨霍爾姆為所有人提供一個友好和支持性的環境。我們鼓勵並歡迎每個人加入我們的社區。我們提供各種各樣的科目，從體育和農業的 BTEC 資格到數學和科學的更傳統的 A Level。我們的承諾是培養全面發展、負責任的社會成員，他們能夠像慶祝自己的成功一樣慶祝他人的成功。這是我們在 Abbotsholme Sixth Form 所做的一切不可或缺的一部分。考慮到這一點，學校提供的課外活動範圍非常廣泛。從競技運動到養蜂和攀岩以及許多其他戶外活動的豐富選擇。每個人都會對某些事物充滿熱情；提升溝通、團隊合作、領導力、風險承擔、計劃和決心等方面的基本就業技能。
六年級的成功可以用許多不同的結果來衡量；不僅透過出色的學術表現，大多數學生都被他們的第一選擇大學錄取；而是透過有機會探索不同的課程和職業。 12 年級和 13 年級的學生將得到支持，討論他們的想法，並投入時間和活動來確定真正激勵他們並使他們快樂的因素。我們相信，這為我們的學生提供了最好的機會，找到一份他們快樂、成功且適合他們的工作。
我們相信小班授課至關重要。這樣就可以就如何提高學生的理解、分析、評估和決策提供系統性和頻繁的專家回饋和建議。這將啟動他們在就業、學徒期或大學的表現。
總而言之，離開阿伯索爾姆六年級的學生都是具有社會意識、獨立且自信的年輕人，準備好應對和接受擺在他們面前的挑戰。

Learning focusses on developing pupils who are confident to challenge and question, who are creative and resilient in their approach and are reflective learners with the confidence to apply their skills and knowledge beyond the classroom.
Individual progress is carefully tracked and discussed with pupils, with the addition of support and challenge appropriate to every child. Strong home-school links are central to our school with a wide range of family events throughout the year.
Our focus on outdoor learning across the Prep School enables pupils to apply key skills through a wide variety of challenges which build strength and test courage. Our broad curriculum and diverse enrichment programme ensure that every child finds a number of areas in which to succeed so that self-confidence may flourish and pupils are prepared to take risks and readily try new things.
Our natural progression on to Senior School allows continuity and progression of skills and develops embedded school values so that our pupils become respectful, confident and happy children with strong morals and leadership skills. This solid foundation prepares pupils for future challenges equipping them with the confidence and self-belief to enjoy full and rich lives in and beyond school.
A small school community ensures that staff get to know the pupils and their needs, which in turn allows for the pupil to be fully engaged in a way that suits their learning, thus developing their ability to make the most of their future opportunities.
Character development is an essential part of life in the Senior School. It is important that the pupils develop an understanding of the school’s core values – honesty, humility, courage, integrity and respect. This moral core is central to the academic, creative, cultural and social development of each student, allowing them to become mature, independent individuals, ready for the next step.
We give our pupils the confidence to be ambitious, determined and independent so they can discover their potential themselves. We promote a learning environment that is both rigorous and supportive. Pupils are expected to understand and take responsibility for their own learning and to aspire to be the best that they can be.
Sixth Form students are the role models for the School in terms of attitude, appearance and commitment, ensuring that Abbotsholme is a friendly and supportive environment for all. We encourage and welcome everybody into our community. We have a broad variety of subjects on offer which range from BTEC qualifications in Sport and Agriculture to the more traditional A Levels in Mathematics and Science. Our promise is to develop well-rounded and responsible members of society who can celebrate the success of others just as much as their own. This is integral to everything we do at Abbotsholme Sixth Form. With this in mind, the range of extra-curricular activities that is on offer is outstanding; from an enormous choice in competitive sport to bee-keeping and climbing, and many other outdoor pursuits. There is something for everyone to become passionate about; boosting those fundamental employability skills in communication, team working, leadership, risk taking, planning and determination.
Success in the Sixth Form can be measured by many different outcomes; not only through strong academic performance, with most students being accepted by their first choice of university; but through having the opportunities to explore different courses and careers. Year 12 and 13 students are given the support to talk over their ideas and have dedicated time and activities to establish what actually motivates and makes them happy as a person. We believe this gives our students the very best possible chance of securing employment in a job in which they are happy and successful and which they are suited.
We believe small class sizes are vital. This allows for systematic and frequent expert feedback and advice to be given on how to improve our students’ understanding, analysis, evaluation and decision making. This will kick start their performance either in employment, on an apprenticeship or at a university.
All in all, students who leave Abbotsholme Sixth Form are socially aware, independent and confident young people ready to tackle and take on the challenges which lay before them.
At Abbotsholme we have three main boarding houses in the senior school with house parents, who oversee the care of pupils from Year 6 to 13. These boarding facilities have a range of options to suit you. We can provide flexible accommodation which may be for a few nights each week, a weekly boarding option allowing students to stay Monday – Friday and full boarding which includes weekends.
Our boarding population comprises of students from the UK and other international countries, and helps to shape the culturally rich and diverse community of which we are extremely proud.
Our boarding houses are as follows:
Orchard – Girls’ Boarding (Year 6 to 11)
Cedarholme – Boys’ Boarding (Year 6 to 11)
Barnfield – Sixth Form Boarding Village (Year 12 and 13)
