"Wonderful School, but Some Minor Quibbles"

We were very happy with Abel Smith when our daughter attended, but we did experience some issues with communication and organisation. That being said, the teaching staff were excellent and our daughter excelled academically. The sports facilities are also top-notch and our daughter loved the sports days.
