Abbey School
Torquay, Torbay, South West · TQ1 4PR
A small independent school in Torquay, Abbey School caters for children from their earliest years through to age eleven, with around 136 pupils on roll. Its compact size lends itself to a close-knit community where staff can know each pupil well. Led by Head Miss Fleur Greinig, the school takes a mixed, non-denominational approach. The Independent Schools Inspectorate rated it good for both quality of education and pupils' personal development, though its most recent compliance check was not met, which is worth noting for families weighing up the school.
