Posted: 17th November 2023

As part of the School’s commitment to Anti-Bullying Week, Year 6 have been working hard on rehearsing their Anti-Bullying assembly to help inform and educate the whole school. In the assembly, a pupil who is being bullied gets support from their friends to do the right thing and use their voice to tell the teacher what is happening to them. In addition to this, on Thursday, Years 1-4 participated in an assembly and Years 5 and 6 workshops, run by the Anti Bullying Alliance, that aimed to give them the skills and confidence to use their shoulders of strength and their sentences of strength.

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.
