Childhood is a precious time that we value highly at our school. We see our learning environment as an antidote to the digital distractions and peer pressures that can mean children have to grow up too fast.
Small class sizes (15 pupils max) and individual teacher attention are key to empowering pupils to reach their full academic potential.
But school, we think, should also be about so much more than exams and grades. Learning the social skills and self-confidence your child will need to excel in his or her life ahead is just as important.
Your child’s personality is what will make him or her stand out from the crowd as an adult.
So we will encourage your child as an individual – with a happy childhood they’ll always cherish through play, friendships and exciting extra-curricular opportunities to spark future passions.
"Sompting Abbotts is somewhere children can really be children. I love that they still do the old-fashioned stuff like conker competitions, play hide-and-seek in the woods and can climb trees." – PARENT OF TWINS, YEAR 4
