Welcome from the Principal
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.
