Respect. Determination. Excellence.

Avon Valley Academy is a thriving, co-educational school, educating young people between the ages of 11 and 16 years. Located in Durrington, our school has a strong reputation for being at the heart of the community and has built strong relationships with the two local army bases, at Larkhill and Bulford. 

As a school, we aim for every lesson and every day to be exceptional. To achieve this, we ensure that all staff have access to a wide variety of training and are given time to foster strong relationships with our students. Our staff take pride in how well they know our students, and are always looking to go the extra mile to help them achieve their dreams.

With our strong pastoral care and high standards for behaviour, our school encourages students to have high self-worth and love coming to school. This has created a vibrant school community in which each individual can thrive.

In May 2022, we joined Acorn Education Trust, which has provided exciting opportunities to improve local education and draw on collective experience. We work closely with other schools within the Trust and the central team to help us continue to grow from strength to strength.

Our school has a wide range of excellent facilities, including: 

  • Sports fields, netball courts, tennis courts, astro turf pitches, a gym and a sports hall; 
  • Dance and drama studios;
  • Interactive whiteboards and projectors in classrooms;
  • Computer suites in most teaching areas;
  • Large hall equipped with full AV system and a stage for our productions, events and concerts;
  • Library with a wide range of reading materials; 
  • Subject area suites for science, design technology and art;
  • Enhanced Provision via our Link and Learning and Welfare Hub, as well as a Behaviour Hub;
  • New buildings;
  • Large grounds.
