November's feature school is:

Battle Abbey School in East Sussex

Built on the site where modern English history began, Battle Abbey School preserves the best of their past traditions whilst eagerly embracing the challenges of the new.  Highly qualified teaching staff are selected on their ability to communicate and inspire and pupils, teachers, parents and the governing body work closely together. This spirit of cooperation gives the school its special atmosphere.

They offer a forward thinking and dynamic curriculum. The school has a long tradition of encouraging creativity in its pupils across all subjects.  For example they are one of only six British schools which have been granted ‘e-mature’ status because of our innovative use of IT to enhance learning. 

They take pupils with a range of academic ability yet achieve strong exam results.  Academic success is something they value highly but they are proud of the achievements of their pupils in all fields.

They aim to develop confident young people ready for the next stage of their lives and studies.  In 2012 39% of sixth form leavers obtained places at Russell Group universities and in 2013 they have had 3 Oxbridge acceptances.  They have strong links with local universities to support teaching and learning and pupil transition to higher education.

The curriculum incorporates Sport, Culture and Personal Development options such as Sports Leadership, Duke of Edinburgh, Asset Languages, Art and Drama.  Together with a varied optional extra-curricular programme, these encourage international pupils to experience all that a boarding school can offer.   Many of their pupils are musical and 30% of the senior school pupils sing in the main choir.  There is at least one major production staged by the drama department each term and the dedicated Performing Arts Centre is constantly buzzing with activity.  

The school is part of an iconic historical site but offers many modern facilities including newly refurbished science laboratories and IT suites and a heated, indoor swimming pool.

Boarding at Battle Abbey is not leaving home but moving to a home away from home.
