Welcome from the Headteacher
We hope that this website will provide you with an insight into the high quality education that your child can expect to receive at The Abbey School. I am confident that you will find it informative and enjoyable to explore.
Our Ethos
"Be the Best You Can Be"
Our school motto reflects our educational values. It is inclusive of all that belong to our community and, as such, it is our aim that all members of our school show respect for one another.
A Broad and Balanced Education
At the Abbey School, we place emphasis on the importance of every child having a broad and balanced education which includes a range of experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.
Sports and Community Facilities
With facilities to suit all ages and abilities, our aim is to provide a wide range of sports and activities that make fitness fun! Our sports halls, 3G pitch and the various clubs and classes that are run at the Abbey Sports Centre serve to create a friendly community that benefits Faversham and the surrounding area.

Yesterday was a big day for the Golf Academy, hosting our first ever fixture! We welcomed The King's School Canterbury and despite the weather some fantastic golf was on display. It was great to see the games being played in a highly competitive yet supporting nature, highlighting the true values of golf. A big thank you as always to Faversham Golf Club for supporting everything we do and providing us with such a great course to call home. We are already looking forward to our future fixtures with The King's School Canterbury. Well done everyone! #BeTheBestYouCanBe
