“As a departing head, the best leaving present I could have is seeing their endeavours recognised beyond this school. I am so proud of them and know they will go on to be leaders at their next schools.

“Abberley Hall takes great pride in the teaching here and in the breadth and depth of its curriculum. These all help to inspire pupils to achieve so much at a young age.”

The record total of awards has boosted the recent years’ tally to a 141 offers over the last three years.

Abberley Hall pupils have also recorded an outstanding success rate in their LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) exams earlier this year.

100 per cent of pupils from Year 2 to Year 8 achieved high merits or distinctions.
