At Avenue Primary Academy we recognise and develop the potential of each and every person, empowering them and giving them the confidence to play a positive role in society as responsible citizens. We aim high and believe we can succeed.

Our children achieve highly, make excellent progress, and value good attendance. They benefit from a broad and exciting curriculum, enriched by a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. Their outstanding behaviour, combined with strong, supportive relationships with staff, helps our pupils to develop confidence, resilience, and character.

Finally, being part of the Cirrus Primary Academy Trust allows us to share expertise, resources, and best practice with other schools, strengthening the education we provide.

'Nurturing individuals, building futures.'

We nurture a love of learning in everyone and prepare them for the future they choose.

Our vision for the academy is to:

• Ensure the best outcomes for every individual
• Ensure staff and pupil wellbeing continues to underpin all that we do
• Ensure high quality teaching by providing opportunities for new learning and career progression to all staff  

Our values: 

• Pride
• Perseverance
• Respect 
• Resilience 
• Teamwork
• Equality

The Avenue Road Board Infant School was first opened in 1894. Within five years an adjacent school was built which became Avenue Junior School after 1944. Most recently in the history of the School, the Infant and Junior Schools joined together in 2006 to form a single Primary school. Since amalgamation the School has gone from strength to strength and has managed to stay welcoming and personal.

Successes of the school

Since amalgamation we have been working very hard to achieve higher and more consistent academic standards. As a result, the School is showing year on year improvements in all areas.

Feedback from children shows that they are proud of their school and enjoy their time here.

Relationships with parents are strong, and the School was awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award in Summer 2010.

Avenue Primary School has achieved the Active Sports Mark Award for our contribution to PE and sporting activities.

We continue to hold EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme) status for our commitment to energy conservation, recycling and care of the environment and we run an EMAS Club for pupils.

We have achieved Healthy School Status which endorses our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles
