Welcome to Avon School

Te ingoa o te Kura Māori

We were gifted our Māori name this year from Ngāti Ruanui and Whakaahurangi Marae which acknowledges our position under the Whakaahu star that rises above us in Whakaahurangi Stratford. It also links to the legend of Ruaputahanga who our kura acknowledge as one of our tipuna.

Avon School, is a full primary school catering for children from Year 1-8. Avon is situated on the corner of Hamlet Street and Warwick Road in Stratford.

Avon School is a vibrant learning community. We encourage all of our ākonga and whānau to demonstrate our new values: Kaitiaki, Ako, Mana Motuhake and Aroha - KAMA meaning our ākonga are being quick, eager, keen and willing to learn. .

We strive to provide all ākonga with the tools and confidence to be and do their best. And enable them to be successful life long learners.
