4worldlovers: At Abbey Park School, every child is valued, supported and challenged to meet his or her full potential. We aim to meet the diverse needs of each individual and to inspire a lifelong love of learning.


Abbey Park School not only provides students with high quality teaching but also recognises the importance of student welfare, care and guidance.

All students at Abbey Park School can expect to experience a wide variety of lessons and learning styles. Our teachers have excellent subject knowledge and lessons are designed to stimulate and inspire. Departments often link up to provide cross-curricular experiences that encourage lateral thinking and demonstrate that no subject exists in isolation.

We have high expectations of students in terms of their attitude to learning and their behaviour. We instil confidence through the provision of a wide range of leadership and extra-curricular opportunities through sport, the arts and outdoor pursuits such as the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.

Children only have one chance at education so it’s important to choose a secondary school that can provide the opportunities that your child needs. It starts with making sure children enjoy school, are kept safe and are settled but, ultimately, it comes down to the quality of each and every educational experience we provide.

The question we always use at LPA to guide decisions is a simple one – ‘Would I be happy with this as a parent if this were my child?’ Clearly if our answer is ‘No’, then it needs changing, and by applying this approach to every aspect of our school over an extended period we have managed to create a consistent level of quality that now makes us one of the top schools in the South West of England.

As an academy serving a comprehensive intake, we know that every child that comes to us has a unique mix of strengths and needs. That’s why we strive to make every part of the school as good as it can possibly be. So, whether your child needs a high level of academic challenge, the opportunity to shine in the arts, the chance to be a leader on the sports field or any other walk of school life, our simple aim is to provide the platform that enables them to turn their potential into performance.

We are already a very good school and are well on the way to becoming a great school. If you share our ambitions for your child, we hope to have the opportunity to help your child build their future and make the very most of their potential.

4worldlovers: As Headteacher here at Ruskin, I would like to extend you the warmest of welcomes. Ruskin Junior School is a large, vibrant, and friendly junior school where our core beliefs centre around instilling a love of and a passion for learning . We believe in teaching skills, sharing knowledge and creating an environment from which special memories and moments can be taken away and cherished for a lifetime. Our curriculum is broad and balanced, with a ‘Big Idea’ at its core. Aspects of the curriculum such as English and science can be drawn from a central concept which is designed to spark the passion to learn, instill curiosity and evoke the will to enquire. Our school’s value changes termly and is a constant thread that runs through the curriculum, binding our ethos to what happens in the classroom; values are designed to instill a strong sense of responsibility and citizenship, essential qualities in preparing our fledgling generation for the future. We have a clear understanding of the crucial role parents and family play in their child's education and subsequently are always looking to forge stronger links between home and school: the success of our school is dependent upon the strength of the bonds we build with everyone in the school community.

The site is very well resourced, with a forest school area, large grass playing field, sprung floor dance studio, stage with full lighting facilities, outside play-barn and a 4G football pitch. We are extremely proud of our resources and we do our utmost to ensure they are accessible to all children as often as possible.

This website is designed to be a one-stop-shop for existing parents and children, for those moving up from the infants and for parents and children looking to join us at a different stage in the school journey. However, the best way to experience the Ruskin vision is to arrange a visit via the school office - you can then see first hand what we have to offer.
