As the school expands, many pupils arrive with a range of previous experiences. They swiftly follow the ‘Avanti way’. From the very start, pupils develop the deep consideration for others, self-reflection and kind relationships that are at the heart of this school. Pupils appreciate the diversity within the school community. They are tolerant and respectful. The school has a calm and orderly atmosphere. Pupils quickly learn the behaviour routines. As a result, they settle to the tasks that teachers set for them and lessons proceed smoothly. Pupils know the ‘golden expectations’ and understand how these can keep them safe. Older pupils volunteer to kindly help their younger peers to join in games at breaktimes. Pupils are proud to be challenged in their lessons. They are determined to try hard and do well. In most classes and lessons, teachers have the expertise to teach well. Most pupils achieve high standards in their work. They are eager and ready for their next steps. There are many ways for pupils to try out new interests and develop their talents, with club’s as diverse as fencing, crochet, drama and gardening. From the early years, pupils calm their minds through regular mediation and yoga.
