About Avanti Gardens School

Avanti Gardens School in Bristol was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024, a significant turnaround from its previous Inadequate rating in 2018. The school now receives Good marks across all five inspected categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school's academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 39% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the local authority average of 58% for primary schools in Bristol, and places Avanti Gardens at 77th out of 85 schools in the area. The school's national ranking for this combined measure sits in the bottom 10% of all primary schools in England.
