Admissions at Abbey School, Torquay

We are a non-selective school and our average 11+ pass rate for our Year 6 cohorts over the last 4 years is 95%.

At Abbey School we do not have any specific intake periods as such, instead preferring to try our very best to accommodate children at any point during the academic year. New pupils will always be welcomed into the School subject to availability of places.

Communication & Language

Children enter our Nursery from babies. Should you choose to return to work following your maternity leave, come in and discuss your requirements with our Head of Nursery. Government funding is accepted for all three and four year olds who attend our nursery.

Foundation

The two year foundation program starts with pre-schoolers in Foundation 1 at the top of the nursery and seamlessly these children then transfer into school uniform for a transition year in Foundation 2, otherwise known as the Reception Class, before entering Key Stage 1 in Year 1.

    Abbey Nursery is more than just 'childcare', as a parent I appreciate the consistency and experience of the teachers, and they way they really get to know the children as individuals, working with you as a parent to ensure the very best for each child, whatever their needs or abilities might be.

    For us as parents, Abbey has made memories to cherish from the daily written descriptions of what Andrew has been up to, to cheering him along on his first sports day and on stage in the nursery play. Abbey nursery is, quite simply, a very special place.
