Life Beyond Abbot's Way

Our mission is to enable Year 11 students to be confidently equipped to move on, carrying with them a valuable armoury of skills, knowledge, values, and memories which will serve to support them lifelong.

The courage, independence, resilience and self esteem which we instil in our young people is key in their transition and journey beyond Abbot’s Way.

We have a continually developing programme to effect a smooth, exciting transition to suitable KS5 provisions
