Secondary Parents' Bulletin 29.08.25

Head of Secondary's Message


A very warm welcome to the 2025–26 academic year. It has been wonderful to see our new Year 7 students begin their secondary school journey with such enthusiasm on Tuesday, and equally heartening to welcome back our Year 8-11 students, refreshed and ready to embrace the year ahead. I would also like to extend a special welcome to the new members of staff joining Avanti Fields School this term – we are delighted to have them as part of our Avanti family and look forward to the energy and expertise they will bring.


This first half term is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting one. We have a number of important parent information evenings scheduled this half term. Alongside these, we are launching an extensive programme of extracurricular and enrichment activities, with clubs and events designed to develop talents, interests, and friendships beyond the classroom.

Of course, the heart of our work lies in learning, and I am proud to see students already engaging so positively with their lessons. Our teachers have planned rich and challenging learning experiences, and it is inspiring to see the curiosity, focus and determination our pupils are bringing into their classrooms.


As always, strong partnerships between home and school are central to ensuring every child thrives. I would like to thank you in advance for your support, encouragement and collaboration this year. Together, we can ensure that every student flourishes both academically and personally.


I look forward to an excellent year ahead for our whole school community.


Ms N Kholia
