The Archbishop's School is situated on St Stephens's Hill, in the village of Hackington (not to be confused with the civil parish of the same name), approximately a mile North-West of the city centre. The Rector of Hackington (St Stephen's) is an ex officio Governor of the school, and since 2014 has also held the office of school chaplain (prior to 2014 this was a separate appointment).[3]

It has four houses named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, after the four Evangelists. There were previously two other houses, Paul and Peter, named after the apostles of those names.

Learning Support/Student Support

The school has a special VI (Visual Impairment) team with equipment catered to the student such as a Braille typewriter. It also has students with SpLDs (Specific Learning Difficulties) such as Dyslexia, Autism, and ADHD.
