"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.
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.
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.

Student Shoutout! Michael delivered an outstanding performance in a recent away U14 ice hockey league match against Peterborough, helping lead his team to an impressive 13–1 victory. He contributed significantly to the win, scoring four goals and adding three assists. Beyond his personal achievements, Michael demonstrated exceptional teamwork and sportsmanship. Fellow players praised his encouragement and support, particularly his efforts to help teammates score their very first goals in a match. In recognition of both his skill and leadership, he was awarded Player of the Match by the Peterborough coach. We are incredibly proud of Michael's performance and the positive attitude he brings to the game. Amazing work Michael! Send us your child's achievements to info@abbeyschoolfaversham.co.uk and we'll give them a shoutout! #BeTheBestYouCanBe

We are proud to share our latest Ofsted Report, in which we have secured “strong standard” and “expected standard” gradings across almost all criteria! Ofsted, in their new framework, have recognised significant strengths in pupils’ personal development, wellbeing and post-16 provision.
Inspectors judged Personal Development and Wellbeing and Post-16 Provision to be Strong Standard, highlighting the school’s culture of care, high expectations, and effective preparation of students for life beyond school. The Pastoral Team was praised highly, with Inspectors commenting that "Pastoral support is a strength. Pupils trust staff to help them manage worries, and... feel safe and supported". Safeguarding was judged to be Met, confirming that arrangements are effective and that pupils feel safe, supported and confident to seek help when needed.
The inspection also confirmed that Curriculum and Teaching, Attendance and Behaviour, Inclusion, and Leadership and Governance are operating at the Expected Standard. Inspectors recognised a clear and ambitious curriculum, improving behaviour, secure safeguarding systems, and leadership that is reflective, purposeful and accurate in its self-evaluation. Inspectors noted that "the school has been through significant positive change" and that “Leaders demonstrate a deep commitment to their vision for further school improvement".
During the Easter Break, the school will be closed to visitors and the phone lines will be switched off from 3.30pm on Thursday 2nd April until return on Tuesday 21st April.
