Posted: 8th February 2024

A group of Year 2 Avon House pupils attended the inspiring AIM High Writing Day workshop by the author, storyteller and creator of Rastamouse Michael De Souza this week. They explored the construction
of traditional nursery rhymes then developed and performed with flare, their own modern day rhymes. Every was full of excitement when they returned to school, eager to share their experiences and rhymes with their friends.

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.
