We also benefit from access to wider facilities at Avonbourne Boys' and Girls' Academies including design technology labs, art studios, large sports pitches, and a full-size climbing wall. Avonwood is an oversubscribed, highly popular school with an already impressive reputation. Our ambition is to be the school of choice for local families, providing an excellent education by inspiring wonder and intellectual curiosity through a genuine love of learning. Our educational philosophy is that school should cultivate the imagination, provoke intellectual curiosity, and develop social responsibility. This is achieved through the ongoing development and delivery of a knowledge-rich curriculum.We are #TeamAvonwood and look forward to showing you around our school. Avonwood is part of United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life-changing education to children and young people across England.
