“To say it was a huge leap in both academic and social terms for our son (and us!) coming to The Abbey is an understatement. Mr Garrett set the tone with his first interview. No soft-soaping, no ‘selling’, just honest straight talking – but all the time with a huge measure of compassion and enthusiasm…To all the teachers, office staff, matron and related staff – thank you. Together you have all contributed to not only furthering our son’s education, but also his social awareness, respect for others and sport! Learning to accept that life is often made up of challenges; times of leaving one’s comfort zone and joining in, whether it’s your ‘thing’ or not.”
