Abbey College is a secondary school in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, housed in a Grade I listed building. The school accepts students aged 11 to 18 and sits on Abbey Road at the edge of the town center.
The building started as part of a medieval monastery before being adapted over the centuries for other uses. The school itself was formed in 2006 through the merger of two local schools and became an academy in 2011.
The school is divided into four houses named after Churchill, Da Vinci, Hawking, and Woolf. These names shape daily school life through shared activities and friendly competitions between groups.
