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.

End of Term Arrangements! As we get ready to wrap up another amazing school year, here's what you need to know about the final day of term: It's a non-uniform day – so leave the blazers at home and come in your comfiest(school appropriate!) clothes. Our school fete will be running all morning – a perfect chance to spend those well-earned house points on games, goodies, and prizes. You've worked hard all year and now it's time to enjoy it! Staggered dismissal starts at 12:10pm, so you'll be heading off into summer a little earlier than usual. Phone lines will be closing at 12.30pm. Let's finish the year with a smile, some fun, and a well-deserved celebration!

Principals Award! A huge congratulations to Jack H (Year 11), who was awarded this year's Principal's Award, as well as the KS4 Boys' PE Prize! Although Jack isn't able to attend the End of Year Prize Giving today due to being away on holiday, we want to take a moment to recognise and celebrate his outstanding achievements. The Principal's Award recognises not just academic success, but also leadership, positive attitude, and an all-round contribution to school life. Jack has consistently demonstrated excellence, both in and out of the classroom, and has been a role model to his peers throughout his time at school. We are also incredibly proud of his accomplishments in PE, where his commitment, sportsmanship, and performance have stood out in every way. Well done, Jack you've truly earned it! #BeTheBestYouCanBe
