“Our year 9 curriculum provides the best platform for success in GCSEs and A-levels” beyond the curriculum and provides them with an understanding of how to apply their learning in the real world. Abbey College Cambridge students also enjoy attending university-organised events each week. These talks and lectures not only allow them to extend their knowledge further in areas that interest them, but they also benefit from the experience of engaging with professors. Asking thought-provoking questions in busy lecture halls helps students build up their confidence and public speaking skills and encourages them to be inquisitive. Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to enrichment, with a range of sessions divided into five categories: active, science and technology, music and creative arts, community and thinking. We aim to
broaden our students’ horizons and enable them to develop into the leaders of today and tomorrow. Abbey College Cambridge students develop their leadership skills by taking on leadership roles. Students seeking these opportunities can join our student council as orientation leaders, organise termly student-led conferences, nominate themselves to become a house captain, prefect or apply to be a part of the student leadership team, who work alongside our college senior leadership team. We are immensely proud of our students and all of their achievements. Through the opportunities offered at the college and our dedicated, personalised UCAS support, Abbey College students progress to a wide range of top UK
and global universities. Every year, 25% of A-level students progress to the prestigious G5 universities, with over two thirds progressing to Russell Group or top-20 institutions. We know that our students benefit both personally and academically from all the opportunities presented by Abbey College Cambridge. We maximise the wealth of inspiring openings on our doorstep that allow our students to thrive and develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime. We invite prospective families to come and visit us to discover more about the opportunities offered.
