dbpprop:abstract
  • The Avon Valley School and Performing Arts College is a self-governing specialist school in the British town of Rugby, Warwickshire. The school is non-selective, catering for students aged 11–16. The school opened on its current site on Newbold Road in 1956 as Newbold Grange High School. Until the early 1990s, under the headship of Mr Turbayne, the school was subject to much criticism, with a relatively bad reputation. In September 1992, Mark Braine took over as headteacher, at which point the school was renamed The Avon Valley School. Since then, the school roll has grown in number, and is today one of the best schools in the area. On 28 June, 2004, the school was reduced to rubble by fire. From the following September, it moved into temporary class rooms. In October 2004, Mark Braine took leave of absence, left the school's employment in April 2005, and on 27 September, 2006, a disciplinary order was made against him by the General Teaching Council, taking effect on 11 October 2006. In 2006, Don O'Neill, who had been deputy headteacher under Mark Braine and acting headteacher from October 2004, was appointed headteacher. In September 2007, the school reopened in brick buildings for the first time since the fire, this time, as The Avon Valley School and Performing Arts College. Garry Bonser, Elaine Stock, Darren Walden and David Pearson are Assistant Headteachers at the school. Prince Edward officially opened the school in October 2008 to a large amount of cheering from the students.
