#Soane26 yesterday was brilliant. This year’s theme of ‘knowing more’ resonated in ways I didn’t expect! Counsell, Vallance, Allen, and Hill were great. Hearing Evans in person was amazing. I left with the feeling: so much beautiful work is going on and there is much more to do!

I had the incredible opportunity to spend a week at Greets Public School in Kochi - India , a well-established CBSE-affiliated institution known for its strong academic ethos, holistic development approach, and commitment to nurturing global citizens. (1/6)

The Berlin trip 2024 is over… The students once again represented themselves and Avonbourne superbly. We are extremely proud of them all. The highlights for students this year tended to be the Olympics stadium the Gleis 17 Memorial, Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial

and the Berlin zoo. In addition to the historical studies students learn all sorts of important life skills for future independence. I hope the students enjoyed themselves as much as I did. Trips like this are not possible without the goodwill of staff to accompany and guide
