My son was blown away with the science department. Of all the schools visited, it was the only school, which made my dyspraxic son, go, 'Wahoo!' In his mission to become a marine biologist, I believe that the AVA is the best place for my only son. The staff were fantastic and my son was completely engaged. The Christian ethos in the school is important to us.

I've just returned home from an evening at the Waterside theatre, where I went to watch my daughter alongside other AVA students perform in tonight's Energize concert. I wanted to send an email to you to simply say WOW! What a brilliant way to open a show. The talent oozed out of the students and I certainly felt proud that we were part of the Academy showcasing themselves in front of the town. Keep up the hard work, AVA is definitely on the up and you will always have my support.

Student Testimonials:
My favourite thing about lessons in AVA is that the teachers try to help you as much as possible.
My favourite things about the lessons is that they are fun and interesting and a good learning environment for me to develop my skills.
I like the way the lessons are planned; it helps me to learn and progress in the subject we are studying. The teachers are understanding and obviously care for our education and that is something I am truly grateful for.
At AVA the lessons are helpful and help me build a good foundation for the future .The teachers are caring and nice and I love being in classes with my friends so we can learn together.
The things I like about AVA is that if there is a problem there is always a teacher that you can go to. When I was bullied teachers sorted it out straight away.
