What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
The community at Avanti House School work together to inspire pupils to be 'spiritually compassionate changemakers'. This vision is fulfilled through an ethos of high expectations and mutual respect. Pupils behave impeccably, and lessons are undisturbed. There is a palpable love of learning. Pupils are tenacious in the face of challenge. Their commitment to their learning is unwavering. Pupils perform exceptionally well, in their work across subjects, and in national assessments at the end of their time at school. The school virtues of respect, self-discipline, courage, integrity, empathy and gratitude are woven through the curriculum. For example, opportunities for affirmations and meditation underpin the rhythm of the school day. These support pupils to apply their religious values and encourage self-reflection. There are a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including filmmaking, cricket and chess. Pupils, including sixth formers, take pride in their leadership roles as form captains, prefects and mentors. There is a sense of joy around the school, which is seen in pupils' interactions with each other and with staff. The school eats communally, and pupils can use the extensive space outside to play games, walk with friends or study. Pupils are kept safe and know how to raise concerns if they need to.
