Abbot Alphege Academy, Bath | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

such a large school should have a parking lot for parents at the back of the school there is a lot of space for parking. Parents park in front of the windows of residents who have small children. children of residents are awakened by heavy traffic and parking cars under the windows of residents. Cars are crashing, engines are turned on loud diesels for residents who live here is a drama, especially since small children who are awakened by their parents, they will bind children to school. in general, this street has no limitations, cars drive at high speed until a tragedy occurs and which will be hit

To start with… Abbot Alphege Academy… AAA… What can I say, an “A” in any form at school is a usually a good thing and in Abbot Alphege’s case it’s no different, this A++ school is fully deserved of its AAA Alliteration.

We were new to Bath and England for that matter when we first heard about Abbot Alphege. We arrived mid school year of 2018 and visited many schools in Bath to find a place for our two little children. Like most parents we wanted only the best for our kids and fortunately for us Bath had a great selection of schools with great reputations. So spoilt for choice our journey began. We were however not just looking for a good academic school but also a school where our children would feel welcome, be given some kind of personal attention and that would give them some much needed confidence after such a huge move to a new country.

We liked quite a few of the schools we visited, some were nice and some not so nice but all were just missing that little something special. Our break came when we were advised by the headmaster of one of the best schools in Bath to contact Abbot Alphege. This specific school didn’t have space for us at the time and he understood our situation and needs to have our sensitive children in a good, safe and trustworthy school. He advised that AAA had not yet been Ofsted rated because they had just recently opened but he knew that AAA is destined for good things, it’s in a great area, it has great facilities and best of all it has an excellent set of teachers and heads. As far as first impressions go and based on all the previous schools we visited, after that first visit we knew AAA was the school for us. From the modern design, great facilities, friendly teachers and extremely comforting atmosphere this school had us swept off our feet as parents, so much so that we were worried about the catch…

The great thing is there was no catch, it’s just simply a great school with great personal and uniquely brilliant teaching methods. My children have blossomed since joining. Our little boy who was very shy and lacked confidence and our little girl who was concerned about being teased or bullied about wearing glasses, disappeared in no time and out came two confident and wonderfully happy children. At first we were really concerned about them fitting in but I must honestly say we have not once regretted our decision. The parents and the children at the school all get along really well, there is a great vibe at the school as well at all the schooling events, the teachers and staff are such nice people, really down to earth and really accommodating. Lastly but certainly not least, Dr. Bull, well her reputation speaks for itself, she has done an amazing job and together with all the staff have built a truly great school, they deserve full credit and can be very proud of their achievement.

On an academic and teaching front my children have really prospered, they caught up quickly to the much higher level of education thanks to the attention each child receives from the schools personal teaching methods and they continue to surprise us each and every day with how quickly they are learning new things. This is a great contrast to the previous schools they attended in our previous country. They have also had so much fun, with trips to the donkey sanctuary, the Weston Coastline, performing in concerts and having a ball at Sports Days, it has been such a great year with tons of great experiences, one that has made our move to England positive and so much easier. My children for the first time in their lives honestly cannot wait to go to school and are now bitterly upset that the holiday break is approaching, to me that in its own says a hell of a lot about a school…

Having almost seen through the school year now, I can say with great confidence that this is one little gem of a school and to contradict the words of said headmaster, it is not only destined for great things… it is already great… Well Done Abbot Alphege Academy, you are truly the start of something special, keep it up.

A fantastic little school! So lucky to have this in Lansdown. Passionate caring staff, my little boy is doing so well and is super happy there!
