About our campus
One of the great advantages of The Abbey College is our magnificent campus. We aim to provide all the necessary facilities needed for students on one site.
70 acres (28 hectares) of private grounds include a well-stocked library, self-access centre, up-to-date computer rooms (for academic and personal use), three science laboratories, 15 classrooms, common room areas, a multi-gym, a licensed private bar for over 18's, and various other specialist rooms.
Students do not need to travel or pay for mainstream on-campus activities, which are supervised by our specialist staff in a safe environment. There is an active Student Council which co-ordinates the range of clubs, societies and other activities on behalf of the students under staff supervision. A balance is always found between work and play.
In addition to the list of sports and activites on right-side of this page, there are other activities available in close proximity to the college which can be arranged for an additional charge, including horse riding, golf, hill walking, indoor swimming, squash, climbing, canoeing, bowling, go-karting and paintball.
For academic students the focus on classroom and homework time is much stronger, so activities are more limited than for other students. We do however encourage all students to become fully involved in extra-curricular events, since we do provide a choice of activities to suit all tastes.
Accommodation
Various types of accommodation are available,to suit different requirements.
The majority of students choose to stay on-campus in one of our residential houses, divided by age and sex, although host families and selfcontained rooms are also available.
