50 Goals Scored!

Posted: 29th November 2022

On Friday 25th November, Years 5 & 6 played Inter-House Netball. All 4 houses came together and played several tough games. Everyone played exceptionally well and it challenged all of us. In the end Morris came 1st, Cavell came 2nd, Churchill came 3rd and Pankhurst came 4th. I thought everyone played really well and I think we all had a wonderful afternoon. Can you believe that over the 6 matches, there was a combined total of 50 goals scored!! (Written by Lara, Year 6)

Closure of Avon House Preparatory School

It is with much sadness that we are announcing the closure of the school with immediate effect. Avon House was founded over a hundred years ago under the name Essex House and then in the early 1950’s was renamed Avon House School. The vision for the current school was that of Sheila Ferrari who bought the school in 1970, providing a family school for pupils from 3-11 years old.

We have explored a number of options to try and save the school from closure but in recent days it became obvious that was not meant to be. The school has struggled with financial pressures including the introduction of VAT on school fees and the rise in NI and pension costs.

We have always put our pupils at the heart of school life both academically and pastorally under the banner of ‘Celebrating and supporting every child’ and we know that many pupils who have journeyed through our school have gone on to great success.

We wish all our pupils and families the best for the future as they embrace new schools in the locality.
