The Abbey School Tewkesbury
May and August 2014
This was originally the Tewkesbury High School for Girls that was founded in 1882 by the vicar, Hemming Robeson, as a Church of England day and boarding school. The Abbey School was founded in 1973 (by Miles Amherst) after it a merge of local schools to create a mixed sex school. At its peak the school provided education for over 120 children, including a number whose places were part-funded by bursaries from Miles Amherst.
After numerous fund-raising attempts, the school finally went into administration and closed in 2006, with 85 pupils in the final year.
