Highlights
Here’s a selection of recent highlights and showstoppers from around The Abbey!
Joy and Kindness
We don’t have a prospectus: we let our students speak for themselves. Confidence, Joy and Kindness: three collections of students’ thoughts, ideas and artwork.
HMAD
HMAD – House Music & Drama, to give it its full title – is one of the Senior School’s highlights of the year. Each of our four houses puts on a wild show, full of song, dance, comedy and joy. Hundreds of students are involved. The whole school attend for a day-long party of creativity and joy that says everything about The Abbey.
It’s entirely student-led, with no support from staff: everything from composing to orchestrating to choreography and direction. What they achieve in a few short weeks is remarkable. Here are some highlights from a recent HMAD!
