Abbey Gate College is an independent coeducational day school set in beautiful grounds at Saighton Grange, some three miles south of the City of Chester.

Abbey Gate College ensures that all pupils are treated as individuals and that they are all encouraged to explore their strengths, discover their talents and fulfil their potential. The College has some excellent facilities, but we pride ourselves on being a small school where children matter, ensuring that pupils, teachers and parents know one another fostering a real sense of community.

The Senior School admits children at the age of 11 and provides education up to University entrance. The College also admits pupils of Junior School age to its Junior Department at Aldford School at the age of 4.
We provide a caring environment; we are proud of our relationship between teaching staff and their pupils. No child at Abbey Gate College or Aldford School will feel lost; everyone is made to feel important as we value every pupil.

The College encourages its students:

• To aim for academic excellence
• To show care and adopt a responsible approach to the community
• To develop as mature, confident citizens

Our Mission Statement

• To provide educational excellence across a broad range of subjects in which pupils of all abilities are enabled to meet their full potential
• To encourage pupils to excel in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including Music, Drama and Sport
• To build on the prevailing culture of good manners and self discipline within a caring environment, which treats each pupil as an individual

Our approach to pastoral care lies at the heart of our success.  Children who are happy and well motivated will always fulfil their potential.  We provide a positive, supportive environment for all pupils and encourage them to do their best.  

Each year the Head sets key aims for the year to give focus for staff and children.
