Head Teacher's Message

A very warm welcome to the Avalon School and Nursery. We like to think of our school as a friendly and happy place, buzzing with activity and positive energy. The atmosphere is supportive and purposeful, facilitating our pupils’ achievements in academic study, sport, drama and music.

Curriculum Highlights

Curriculum is centred on a thorough grounding in English and mathematics with emphasis on science, technology, art, music, history, geography, ICT, PE and Spanish. Infants (Reception to Year 2) are mainly taught by form teachers, with specialist teaching in ICT, Spanish, music and PE. Juniors (Year 3 to Year 6) are taught by a wide range of specialist teachers to ensure high academic standards. The school has an impressive pass rate in 11+ examinations for entrance to local grammar schools and entrance exams for local independent schools. The school remains committed to a broad and balanced programme of study for every child, with SEND provision and opportunities to develop gifts and interests.

Wraparound Care

After-School Care: Yes

Avalon operates a comprehensive wraparound care facility. Before School Care is available from 7.45 am and After School Care runs until 6.00 pm. The facility is available to pupils of all ages and, while primarily a child care facility, offers opportunities to complete homework with staff support or to engage in a range of educational and social activities.

Admissions Criteria

Many children entering our Reception Class come from our own School Nursery, but we also welcome a number who are new to the School. Older children may be admitted into any year group if space allows. Prospective pupils can spend a day with their prospective class, and for older children a report from their current school is requested before confirming a place.
