Since his appointment, Mr Watson has continued to invest in the maintenance and enhancement of school facilities. The school now has a number of new EYFS teaching spaces, each supported with soft playground and covered areas. Additionally, the school now has its own adventure playground and Astroturf for wider sporting use.

Endorsing the value of authenticity, the school now also enjoys the comforts of an overseas property, having established a charitable link with children in Romanian orphanages. Our older children visit in the winter months for a ski trip; we are able to include a number of orphaned children on excursions as well as give out presents as part of the ‘Christmas Shoebox Appeal’. The summer months sees a return for more ‘activity- based’ experiences; we return to the UK with four orphaned children to spend the remainder of the school year with us at Avondale. These authentic experiences have seen the fostering of life- long friendships.
