This rapid growth makes Avonwood a unique and exciting opportunity for any prospective staff looking to play a key role in the continuous development of our school. We are exceptionally fortunate to have access to outstanding facilities including a purpose-built stage, and extensive outdoor spaces that include our performance amphitheatre, allotment, pond wildlife area and forest school outdoor classroom provision.
