Friends of The Abbey School

The Abbey has an active association of parents, carers, grandparents, school staff and other friends. All members of the school community are automatically members of the Friends association and welcome to attend meetings, as well as events. The association operates in accordance with the written constitution and has a committee of elected members and a board of trustees.

Details of events and meetings will be posted here and communicated via the school newsletter.
