"I am honoured to serve our community as Executive Principal, working closely with families, staff, and children across the three schools which make the Avanti Learning Village | Stortford.

Back in September 2022 one of the many aspects that drew me to the Avanti Schools Trust was the unique opportunity to be part of a thriving Learning Village, something truly special and distinctive within Bishop’s Stortford. The chance for our children to start their educational journey with us at age 3, progress seamlessly through primary and secondary phases, and graduate from Avanti 6 | Stortford at the age 18 is unrivalled.

Working closely with Mrs. Penney we provide a unique values driven education in which The Avanti Way is lived everyday. Thank you for considering becoming part of the Avanti community here in Bishop's Stortford."

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.
