About Abberley Hall
Abberley Hall is a coeducational school for children aged between two and 13 in the Worcestershire countryside. Children attend the pre-preparatory school and nursery up to the age of 7, before joining the boarding and day preparatory school from the age of eight. The grounds extend across 90 acres, parts of which are used as an Outdoor Learning area and for playing sport or participating in after-school activities.
