Tours of the Main School, Pre-Prep and Nursery. We’ll allocate you a Year 6, 7 or 8 pupil ‘guide’. You can also visit the woods, play areas, gardens, sports facilities and grounds.

Sompting Abbotts is wonderful family school where my children are getting such a solid start in life … a proper academic education full of encouragement, ambition, manners and friendships. It’s somewhere children can really ‘be children’. I love the focus on the environment and that they still do the old-fashioned things like conker competitions, play hide-and-seek in the woods and can climb trees.
— PARENT OF TWINS, YEAR 5

IS MY CHILD’S WRAP-AROUND CARE INCLUDED?

Yes. Parents pay no additional charge for before- and after-school care at Sompting Abbotts. You can leave your Pre-Prep child (under 8s) in our care from 8am - 4.30pm and Prep-age child (8 - 13) from 7.30am to 6pm.

SENIOR SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP DESTINATIONS

In the last 10 years, our boys and girls have continued their academic educations – many with awards and exhibitions – at: Lancing College, Brighton College, Hurst College, Winchester, Sherborne, Roedean, Christ's Hospital, Seaford, Worth, Dulwich, Brighton Girls', Farlington and Burgess Hill Girls', among others.

We believe that while striving for excellence and exam success is important, it is the character of the pupils leaving us that sets them apart and, often, makes them the first choice of many senior schools.
