Strategic plan and development

Our mission is a simple one: we aim to empower girls to become confident, successful students and to develop a sense of moral responsibility to their community and to society. In other words, we do our utmost to equip them to lead fulfilled and productive adult lives in a rapidly changing world.

The Abbey School intends to retain and enhance the current ethos and mission statement of the school. We are, and will remain, academically selective, committed to single-sex education, pastoral support and to educating the whole person. Abbey girls will be encouraged to aim high both academically and personally, to develop a sense of moral and spiritual responsibility for themselves and others and to explore extra-curricular interests.

The 5-year strategic plan, published in 2008 and available to download here, provides a framework to ensure the success of recent years continues into those ahead, allowing the school to retain and build on its reputation for leadership and innovation in education. The essential strategic principles addressed in the document are as follows: Academic Leadership; Moral and Spiritual Responsibility; Extra-Curricular Opportunities; Global Citizenship; Facilities; and Financial Health and Stewardship. By continuing to address these separate issues we are ensuring that the school will continue to develop and to flourish in the years to come.
