Abbey History

Abbey (along with St Benet) were the two original houses when the school was first established in 1927.

Abbey takes its name from Chertsey Abbey, which is shown as owning the Manor of Epsom in the Domesday book. Chertsey Abbey also gives Abbey House its crest showing the twin keys crossed with a sword. In the first years of the school, competition between Abbey and St Benet was fierce, but Abbey were seemingly more successful, and took full advantage of two new Houses joining in 1928. It was reported in 1929 that the Abbey Form VI football team hammered Tudor 32-0!

Abbey won their first of five Victor Ludorum Cups in 1966/67 but their last win was in 2001/02!
