Welcome to Abbey Gate College.
We were founded by a small group of committed parents in 1977, who wanted a school in the Chester area that would value and nurture each child as an individual, while also being committed to academic excellence.
Half a century later, we are a leading, independent, co-educational, day school for students aged from 4 to 18 years, proudly serving the wider Cheshire and North Wales regions; with a reputation for happy pupils, who thrive.
Our College is situated on the rural outskirts of Chester in the historic Saighton Grange manor house as well as in the delightful Aldford village – nestling in 20 acres of beautiful grounds, with stunning buildings and a wide range of excellent facilities.
It is a unique and very special setting, which enables children and young people, from Foundation to Sixth Form, to learn, grow, and develop – in readiness for their future life.
