Welcome
to the Avanti Learning Village | Bishop's Stortford, part of the Avanti Schools Trust.
It is a privilege to lead the Avanti Learning Village — a growing family of schools united by a shared purpose: to inspire spiritually compassionate changemakers. As Executive Principal, I am proud to see our community flourish through curiosity, courage, and kindness.
Each of our schools is unique, yet all are rooted in The Avanti Way — where educational excellence, character formation, and spiritual insight come together to help every child thrive.
Explore Avanti Brook, Avanti Meadows, and Avanti Grange — where every child is known, nurtured and encouraged to flourish.

“Thank you all so much for the support, guidance and care you have shown my daughter and us as parents. To see teachers who genuinely care and enjoy their profession has been amazing, and reminiscent of teachers I loved as a child.”
Avanti Brook Pre-School Parent
I feel Avanti Brook demonstrates genuine care and wholeheartedly appreciates my daughter being a child here and hope she gains a place in reception.”
Avanti Brook Pre-School Parent
“Spiritual insight and character development are key tenets for the trust and school. Staff thread the values of self discipline, respect, empathy, integrity, courage and gratitude through the curriculum and life of the school. From the very start, pupils develop the deep consideration for others, self-reflection and kind relationships that are at the heart of this school. Pupils are proud to be challenged in their lessons. They are determined to try hard and do well.”
Avanti Meadows Ofsted, 2024
“The school is a place I can happily call my second home. The environment captures all aspects of a quality education where everyone aspires to be the best versions of themselves and exceed their expectations. I couldn’t image a friendlier, more pleasant and safer place to be inspired to learn in.”
Avanti Meadows Child
“We have been with the school for four years now and are very happy. Avanti Schools remains my first choice of school and I’m looking forward to my son joining next year.”
