Abbotsgate House School is a British Public School (British private boarding and day school for pupils aged 13–18) located in the smallest city in Britain, St Davids, in Pembrokeshire, Wales. One of the consistently best performing schools in the Empire, Abbotsgate attracts children from around the Commonwealth and overseas and has achieved the best A level and GCSE results from a coeducational school since 2001. It was founded c. 1182 by the then Bishop of St Davids. It currently occupies a country house designed and built in 1791 by Sir Fergus Fitzroy-Fergerson to replace an earlier building that burnt down. The school is set in 620 acres (1.6 km2).
Abbotsgate is a member of the Royal Independent Public School Commission and the Abbotsgate Group. It has a reputation as a liberal and academic school that achieves a learned and progressive environment.
