(Aged 0-25 Years) with Additional Needs Firstly THANK YOU to all our parent carers who have taken the time to respond to our annual survey, we know how valuable your time is. Having had an incredibly challenging year we really appreciate everyone who has shared their experiences of provision in North Somerset. It has been great to read some very positive experiences of provision helping to highlight areas that are working well whilst also disappointing to read of the continuing challenges faced by parent carers in accessing appropriate provision to meet the needs of their child / young person and that of their family. We will use all this information as we continue to represent the collective voice of parent carers over the coming year and seek to see much needed improvements in provision in North Somerset. Do continue to share your experiences with us during the year so that we can continue to represent your voice with local decision makers.

  • Headteacher Welcome
    HEADTEACHER WELCOME ‘The reason a lot of people do not recognise opportunity is because it usually goes round wearing overalls looking like hard work’ - Thomas Edison Our wonderful Year 11s are over halfway through their GCSEs as you read this and we are very proud of how hard they have been working and how they are stepping up to the challenge of these exams. This time of year is incredibly pressurised for our young people, for their families and for teachers too as we are all unified in wanting the very best. It would be fair to say that it really is a team effort throughout the GCSE season as every member of staff has been involved in supporting the students in various ways from ensuring fruit and water are available at the start of exams to picking up anxious youngsters and being a friendly ear to providing post exam debriefs. Even the students from across other years have been part of the effort by being respectful and conscientious in ensuring Year 11s have the best experience possible. We are really looking forward to celebrating at the prom later this term – always a fabulous occasion in the Academy! The beginning of July will see our new Year 7s join us for a four day transition event which is an exciting new venture for us. It is a project agreed between many of the primary schools and both of the secondary schools in South Weston to try and ensure a positive and supportive move from primary to secondary as well as a great start to relationships between new families and the Academy.

  • Headteacher Welcome
    HEADTEACHER WELCOME “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re not going to stay where you are.” - J.P. Morgan This has been a landmark year for Broadoak as we made the decision to join the Cabot Learning Federation. It has been an incredibly positive move from a parental, student and staff perspective and the opportunities both now and into the future are tremendous. This is the start of a very exciting journey for us all as we continue on our journey towards excellence. It was a moment of real pride when our Eco Leaders – a group of Year 9 students – asked the Chair and CEO of the Cabot Learning Federation, Professor Jane Harrington and Steve Taylor, to enact decisions at a strategic level which would support the climate change agenda. We have articulate and compelling young people willing to become changemakers here at Broadoak and it is wonderful to behold. There have been two standout moments this term which have encapsulated for me the reason Broadoak is so special. The Year 11 Prom was one of the best events I have attended in all my years in education. Our young people were kind, funny and charming as we celebrated their hard work together and I am excited for them as we look forward to receiving their results in August. The other event that was a real highlight was the Transition Event for Year 6. The four days of transition culminated in a showcase assembly in which the whole year group and their teachers, both primary and secondary, sang Shakira’s Try Everything in front of parents and carers.
