Abbots Hall Primary Academy is an integral part of the local community. We put children and families at the heart of everything we do and are supported by a very active PTA. How do we encourage our children to show our values? We recognise that it is important for our values to be at the forefront of our minds.
Thats why every time a member of staff sees a child demonstrating one of our core values, they earn a token. Children can save their tokens and spend them in our very own shop called Abbots olutely Everything. Watch the video below to find out more...
