6^th March 2020

In the past few hours the school has been made aware that a member of the temple congregation has sadly tested positive for COVID-19 and I wanted to communicate this to you as quickly as possible. The individual concerned has not recently been to the temple however other congregation members have been in contact with this person. As such, the school has taken advice from Public Health England and Harrow Public Health and has continued to follow their guidance.

Once again I wish to highlight the need for increased vigilance of hygiene and awareness of potential symptoms. Please utilize the links below to gain a full and detailed overview from NHS England and Public Health England.

As per our previous communications, please continue to notify the school if you have visited the areas internationally identified by Public Health England. This includes visiting the school and ensuring any declarations are made to the relevant members of staff.

At this stage there is no reason to expect that our school will have to close, though you will be aware that other schools have been subject to closure as part of the counter-measures to contain the spread of the virus.

We are grateful for your continued support in this complex and evolving situation. We will continue to update you as and if the requirements or advice changes and we will continue to follow government advice.

We were pleased to see the vast majority of our students being able to continue their sixth form studies at Avanti House. They will be able to continue growing and developing, ensuring they make the next steps in education.

We are really proud and delighted with our first set of A level results at Avanti House. The students have worked incredibly hard over the last seven years and with the support of staff and parents have produced a good set of results. Almost all of the students are progressing to university courses across the country including a wide range of Russell Group Universities such as Queen Mary, Cardiff, King’s College, Southampton and Nottingham.

There were exceptional outcomes with a very high pass rate of 98% A-E grades with many students gaining the very highest grades in the most challenging subjects at A level. The comparison of  A levels across the country has again highlighted the outstanding performance of students and subjects in the progress students make. The following subjects achieved a pass rate of 100% and were also placed in the top 10% of schools nationally for progress-Chemistry, Physics, English, History and Geography. There were also outstanding individual student performances who gained A and B grades and are now embarking on courses that will see their educational journey continue.

I would like to thank all who have supported the students in their Avanti journey and I would like to wish them all well in the future.
