Head of Secondary's Message
We would like to express our thanks to Mrs Morbey and Mrs Askham, along with the full Spanish team, for leading and delivering the recent Spanish Speaking mock exams for our Year 11 students. These assessments form an important part of GCSE preparation, and we are grateful for the care and support shown to students throughout the process.
We are also proud to celebrate our Year 11 Sports Ambassadors, who recently led a series of Primary Sports Festivals. Their leadership, kindness and encouragement ensured all students felt supported and included, and we were delighted to receive highly positive feedback from organisers and Primary school staff. They demonstrated the Avanti values beautifully and acted as fantastic role models to younger students. We would like to also extend our thanks to Mrs Kansara for all her efforts and dedication in training our Sports Ambassadors and providing these rich opportunities for our students to flourish.
A reminder that our Trust-wide INSET Day will take place tomorrow - Friday 21st November 2025. School will be closed to all students on this day as staff will be taking part in professional development activities.
We are also preparing for our Year 11 Parents’ Evening on Thursday 4th December 2025 from 2:00pm to 7:00pm. Please take a moment to read the details sent via email to ensure appointments are made smoothly once the system opens.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to connecting with many of our Year 11 families in the coming weeks.
Warm regards
Ms N Kholia

Don't Miss This Hilarious & Heartfelt Gujarati Play!
We are excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for our community to enjoy a wonderful theatrical experience: the Gujarati play, "Gamtaa Mangamta"!
This is a performance not to be missed, offering a blend of laughter, emotion, and drama.
Amrut Lal Mazumdar and his wife Ambika Mazumdar are living a quiet, lonely life in India, accompanied only by their caretaker, Rama. Their son is miles away in the USA, and contact has been lost for ages. However, one fine day, their granddaughter, Roshmi, arrives in India, and their lives take a dramatic 180-degree change!
Roshmi has arrived with a motive... but what is her motive? Will she succeed? What will be the ultimate fate of Amrut Lal and Ambika Mazumdar?
To witness this compelling story unfold, you must come and see the play!
