Abbey View School provides its students with a chance to reflect and reform within a happy, safe and supportive environment, which promotes sound emotional well-being and safe lifestyles.
Our curriculum is designed in such a way to fill the educational gaps that our students so often have. Rather than pushing forward with a mainstream curriculum that has already failed our learners, we focus on creating something bespoke for our students.

We provide a happy environment for staff and students alike.
We strongly encourage potential applicants to visit before applying. To arrange a visit please contact: Nadya Mounsor, Office Manager, [email protected].

Abbey View is committed to equality of opportunity and safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
