About Abbey College

Abbey College, Ramsey, is located in a small market town almost halfway between Huntingdon and Peterborough and within easy reach of Cambridge and London. The College is set within extensive, historic and beautiful grounds close to the Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket.

The College is a large 11-18 school with a catchment which extends over a wide rural area. There are approximately 1090 students on role, including a sixth form of 120. We currently have around 60 teaching staff with an additional support team of around 40 members of staff.

The Abbey College Spirit is the set of virtues that underpins our community. The spirit comprises of three key virtues: humility, intuition and passion, which we expect all members of our school community to work towards. The colleges’ reward system is based around the virtues; students are recognised when they demonstrate the virtues both in the wider-school and in the community.  Students work towards a bronze, silver and gold award over the course of KS3 and wear their badges with pride when they receive them.

About Ramsey

Ramsey is a historic English market-town in the district of Huntingdonshire and the county of Cambridgeshire, which was established around the Ramsey Abbey, a Benedictine monastery. Subsequently the town is brimming with history and has retained a quaint, rural feel.

However, do not be fooled, Ramsey is just 20-25 minutes from bustling cities Peterborough and Huntingdon, and its close-proximity to the A1 motorway also means it is just 40 minutes from Cambridge and 45 minutes from London from Peterborough train station. Therefore its positioning grants it a perfect combination of both rural charm and city comforts.
