- Education/training - Children/young people - Makes grants to organisations Avondale Park is an aspirational and dynamic two-form entry school. Our belief is that children are entitled to the highest quality teaching, an ambitious and exciting curriculum, a stimulating learning environment and a safe and caring place in which learning is of the highest quality. We ensure appropriate challenge and support so that all our children achieve their best – emotionally and academically. Visitors are struck by our confident expressive children who are engaged in their learning and proud of their achievements - as well as the friendly and hardworking atmosphere created by staff, pupils and parents. Avondale Extra was founded in 2002 by local people to benefit the children of Avondale Park Primary School. The aim of the charity is to broaden the children's experience and create lifelong interests by funding the sort of out of school activities that more privileged children take for granted. We sponsor extra-curricular activities which include sports, the arts, educational excursions and residential trips. Avondale Extra exists to support the children of Avondale Park and St Anne's Federation of Schools in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Despite being in one of the wealthiest boroughs in the country, the school lies within an area of tower blocks with one third of our families living in inadequate or overcrowded households with little safe space to play . More than one quarter of our children have special educational, social, emotional or behavioural needs. Some of our children have never visited the countryside or the coast and some have little or no opportunity to go out of the immediate area. Many have no access to live theatre or music and cannot afford sport and other activities out of school.
