About Avenue Primary Academy
Avenue Primary Academy is a very popular school for parents, situated near the A217 in Sutton and within easy reach of the M25. The academy is in Belmont village and is considered to be the 'local' school. The academy recently expanded from three to four form entry with three five-form 'bulge' year groups, and had 992 pupils currently on roll.
An SEN Opportunity Base for ASD opened in September 2016 for up to 10 children.
Avenue is a Teaching School within the Sutton Primary School Teaching Alliance, and staff at the academy benefit from this as both recipients and providers, creating additional career opportunities. As a National Support School, staff at the academy support in other schools across the country.
Cirrus Primary Academy Trust was established when the school converted to an academy in September 2015, and a second school joins the trust in January 2017 as a sponsored academy.
