Avanti Gardens School is a two-form entry community school based in Fishponds, Bristol. Our school opened in September 2014 and is proud to be a part of Avanti Schools Trust. It is through our holistic, inclusive and caring approach that we support our children to flourish, to reach their academic and social potential and move along their journey of self-discovery. Our mission is to equip children with a love of life-long learning, by focusing on our core values.

"A very warm welcome to Avanti Gardens! I am very proud to be the Principal of our vibrant and exciting school, so thank you for taking the time to explore our school website. At Avanti Gardens, our ethos is built upon three core pillars which are the golden thread in all that we do: Educational Excellence – Character Development – Spiritual Insight.

Our exceptional team puts pupils at the centre of everything and our aim is to prepare our pupils to thrive beyond primary school. I believe that through the strong partnership that we develop with our community, aspirational aims become reality.

Our rich and rigorous curriculum is underpinned by the Avanti Way, which enables our pupils to develop a strong sense of self-belief and an understanding of respect and tolerance. We harness the potential of our staff’s expertise and our amazing on-site facilities to provide a unique offer. We support our children to become fluent and passionate readers, writers and mathematicians, thus ensuring that every child can engage in and enjoy the richness of our wider curriculum.

We are very proud of our inclusive, warm and caring approach. The strong relationships that are developed between staff and pupils enable our pupils to flourish and reach their academic and social potential. Through our curriculum pupils will gain a reflective, compassionate understanding of themselves and the communities around them. ..."

Our Beliefs

At Avanti Schools Trusts Our purpose is based on these core beliefs:

Avanti exists to help each person become a well-rounded human being through intellectual, moral and spiritual growth, and so make the world a better place.

Avanti Schools support each person’s life journey along three parallel paths: Educational excellence; Character formation; and Spiritual insight.

Avanti’s unique ethos places a key emphasis on each individual’s wellbeing and good mental health. Children with higher levels of emotional, behavioural, social, and school wellbeing, on average, have higher levels of academic achievement and are more engaged in the school community. All our schools share a dedicated approach to wellbeing, from providing yoga and mindfulness sessions, sports and exercise, charity work, and working with parents and carers as co-educators.
