About us and the role

Since our first school opened in 2008, Avanti Schools Trust has grown in a considered and gradual way.

Now, we are a family of 10 schools across the UK, serving over 4,500 children and young people and 450 staff.

School visits are welcomed and encouraged. Please contact the school to arrange a suitable time.
