Avanti Hall is a community (non-denominational) maintained school. Avanti Hall is an all-through maintained school (4 -16) and is situated to the north of Exeter amidst a beautiful woodland area with easy access to the M5. Following inspections in October 2018, the school was placed under special measures. In response to the inspections, the school was re-brokered and transitioned to Avanti Schools Trust in November 2019. As a Trust we have moved with speed to begin the journey of improvement, appointed new principals, restructured staffing and introduced a dynamic new curriculum.
