Battle Abbey School, Battle, East Sussex, United Kingdom


The School was founded in 1912, as St. Etheldreda's, Bexhill by May Jacoby and her sister Helen Sheehan-Dare. The school moved into the Abbey in 1922, with an enrollment of thirty three girls. Within the year there were one hundred girls and the Board of Education officially recognized the school in 1926. The Abbot's house now forms the centrepiece of the senior school, with the preparatory school and nursery situated in the nearby town of Bexhill-on-Sea.
