Tennis Avenue School in detail
Tennis Avenue School in its own words
In its own words: "They are designed to empower students to make smart choices that their "future selves" will be proud of. R - Respect : We value empathy, courtesy, and fairness. By embracing diversity and rejecting social division, we remain united in our common identity as CHAMPs. A - Accountability : We instill a sense of personal agency."
From the headteacher's welcome: "Most parents looking for full-time tennis feel forced into a compromise: choosing between a disjointed day, a stitched-together home education, a school where the tennis is a bolt-on, or an academy where education is a bolt-on. At Tennis Avenue School, we believe you shouldn't have to choose."
