Student Support

We are proud of our ability to cater for each student as an individual, and we have an excellent record of meeting a wide variety of academic and social needs, ensuring all students are pushed to reach the highest possible academic achievements from the outset through to when they leave us at age 16. The Avon Valley School also places great value in encouraging all students to participate in the many social, cultural and sporting clubs, performances and activities that we offer. We believe that this encourages good social skills and the development of lifelong learners.

Every student at The Avon Valley School belongs to a tutor group, which in turn belongs to one of four houses. This structure means that every student is known by, and receives support from, a tutor, Pastoral Lead and Head of Year.

In addition, students also have access to our Attendance Office, Careers Advisor and Student Services.
