EYFS Easter Bonnet Parade

Posted: 25th March 2024

With a fanfare of colour, chicks, bunnies, feathers, glitter, and other themed decorations to finish the Spring Term, the Avon House Early Years Easter Bonnet Parade took place today. Showcasing the creativity and imagination of our Nursery and Reception children (and their parents!), our youngest children were full of excitement and pride as they paraded around the playground in their unique bonnets to the admiration of their parents, teachers and the rest of the school. As the parade concluded and the winners of the most  creative designs announced, all the children were me with applause and hugs from their adults present.  Thank you to all our Early Years families for their support with this annual event. It was a joyous occasion for everybody to come together in a celebration of springtime spirit.

Ethan said, “I’m wearing my yellow bonnet. We followed each other and people watched. I waved at everyone!”

Kaida added, “My bonnet is purple and pink. There’s a tiger and Sophie on it, my Mummy and me made it together. I did a dance at the parade!”

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.
