We are incredibly proud and thrilled to share the exciting news that Old Abbotsholmian Simon Henry Roberts Johnson has been awarded the Nobel Prize. This is a historic moment for Abbotsholme, and it serves as a powerful reminder to both our current and past pupils of the remarkable achievements that an Abbotsholme education can lead to.

During his time at Abbotsholme (1974-1980), Simon served as Head Boy, before going on to study at Oxford University, followed by Harvard and MIT.

Being recognised as a Nobel Laureate is a distinction that very few UK schools can claim for their alumni. Simon’s success is truly inspirational to all of us, and we are over the moon to celebrate this milestone with our community.

As Christmas approaches, we are reminded of the importance of community and supporting those in need. This year, we are launching a Toys and Food Collection to support families in our local area, and we need your help to make it a success.

The donation point can be found in the main school entrance.

Thank you for your generosity! Together, we can create a meaningful difference in our community.

It's Parliament Week ⚖️

As part of the PSHCE curriculum, our pupils take part in Parliament Week each year, exploring the role, work, and development of parliament.

During this mornings tutor time, pupils held a healthy debate regarding topical issues they've encountered in the media, having the opportunity to share their thoughts and perspectives on various national issues.

Well done to all pupils who participated, presenting thoughtful arguments both for and against different topics.
