About Us
A very warm welcome to the Avalon School.
We like to think of our school as a friendly and happy place, buzzing with activity and positive energy! The atmosphere here is very supportive and purposeful, and this is what facilitates our pupils’ achievements and successes in so many aspects of their school life—academic study, sport, drama and music. Class sizes are small ensuring individual attention and child-centered targets for development.
We acknowledge in our approach, that individuals have different strengths. We provide a wide range of opportunities for our pupils to make the most of their particular talents both within the curriculum and in the many exciting activities which take place outside the classroom.
We are proud to be a school which has a strong sense of tradition whilst also seeking innovation. Underpinning everything that we do is a set of simple but far-reaching values: an understanding and respect for others, a sense of responsibility, the importance of self-belief, and a willingness to support each other.
