I am very proud to be Headteacher at Avonwood Primary School. We challenge staff to deliver a knowledge rich curriculum that 'inspires wonder and intellectual curiosity'. We believe literacy is the golden key to all aspects of academic life so encourage children and their parents to nurture a love of reading. In April 2024, Avonwood was graded 'Outstanding' in all areas by Ofsted.

Building a new school was a special opportunity to rethink the key aspects of a primary education. We continue to be very proud of our status as the only United Nations Earth Charter primary school in the UK. The Earth Charter underpins our ethos with great thought given to the eight “Little Earth Charter” principles and our school motto "it starts with one". 

Avonwood is housed inside a stunning purpose built school with exceptional facilities including a outdoor performance amphitheatre, purpose built hall / theatre stage and extensive outdoor spaces. As a United Learning Trust school we place great emphasis on the framework for excellence which includes the best from everyone, powerful knowledge, education with character, leadership in every role and continuous improvement.

We believe our school is a very special place to grow, work and learn.

I look forward to welcoming you to Avonwood.

Mr Jackson

Headteacher
