We had such a fabulous day when author B. Ware came to visit Abbey Park. She read us some of her new book and many of us were lucky enough to take part in her workshops which encouraged us to write and illustrate our own novel ideas. What a great day!

We were honoured to receive a visit from Rebecca Redfern, Paralympic Gold Medallist, who came in to talk to the Federation about her life and achievements. She talked about her disability and how she refused to let it stop her from following her dreams. She brought her Rio and Tokyo Silver medals and her Paris Gold medal with her for the children to see up close, and some even had chance to hold them!

The PTFA are working hard to improve our outdoor areas. Recently they have been working with some fantastic volunteers at our forest school club to transform our forest school areas, with more improvements still to come. They have also bought plants for the planters around the first school playground, and, very excitingly, they have arranged for a beautiful new artwork on the side of the garage at first school. Painted by Mr Sce, it incorporates all the animals our classes are named after. Find out more on the PTFA page.
We are thrilled to confirm that Miss Scully was awarded ‘Headteacher of the Year 2023’ at the Worcestershire Education Awards that took place last night at The Abbey Hotel, in Malvern.
We are so proud of her achievement and feel this confirms her outstanding support and commitment to our pupils and families at Abbey Park Schools Federation.
Well done Miss Scully, you are the best!
A message from the Executive Headteacher
Abbey Park Federation of schools caters for children aged 2 to the end of year 7 (age 12). We do this across our pre – school, nursery, first school and middle school. We have a spacious site opposite the Abbey in the beautiful town of Pershore.
Children across the Federation are taught by inspirational, passionate staff that are relentless in their drive to ensure children make progress and are happy in their learning. All children are appropriately challenged at their level and experience a rich, varied curriculum with many enrichment and extracurricular activities.
Children in the first and nursery school are class based and taught through an exciting topic led curriculum. Children join the middle school at the beginning of year 5. Children in years 5 and 6 spend approximately half their school day with their class teacher and the rest with specialist staff. Children in year 7 are taught in a secondary style.
Children across the Federation benefit from specialist areas such as the science laboratory, the design technology and cookery suite as well as a dedicated ICT suite.
Abbey Park prides itself on excellent pastoral care where all staff work closely with parents / carers in ensuring all children are ready and happy to learn. The school encourages parents / carers to discuss their children’s needs whenever needed.
I am really proud of our schools and the care our children receive; I am very happy to show any prospective families around our site – please do get in touch.
Rebecca Scully
