The hills allow long views of the sea from the north which are complex and layered. Weston Wood provides a stunning backdrop to views from the beach towards the town. Weston-super-Mare has grown exceptionally from its humble beginnings as a fishing village to a town with over 76,000 residents. Despite parts of the town facing challenges of deprivation, Weston continues to be a popular place to live, work and visit. The richness of its heritage is a great asset and presents a valuable opportunity for renewal. The Great Weston Heritage Action Zone is an exciting initiative which will help the town's heritage to play a central part in its regeneration. Weston's story can be told through layers of its heritage, not only from historic buildings, but the layout of roads, paths Victorian architecture and the stone town Hidden gems and boundaries, the building and paving The Victorian housing boom led to a distinctively 'Weston' townscape, Weston's Victorian inheritance dominated by classical villas and limestone Gothic villas with elaborate is evident.

This characterful material gives the Victorian town much of its consistency and character. Shaly and Sash windows Art Deco glazed tile 1950s raised lettering Decorative stonework rough-textured, it is not suitable as a freestone and is generally laid as coursed rubble. Dressings and carved work are excuted in Bath stone, a finegrained oolitic limestone for carving and finer work like the mouldings for cornices, columns, or door and window architraves. Bath stone (or the geologically similar Dundry limestone from quarries south of Bristol) was also used for prestige compositions such as Ellenborough Crescent. Where the stones are used together, the honey-coloured Bath stone provides a pleasing contrast with the greyish-pink tones of Weston stone.

  • 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.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • 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.

The plan provides management options that aim to ensure that the beach and dunes provide effective flood protection into the future. Three main types of coastal flood defence are present within the study area: sea walls in the northern half of the beach, sand dunes in the southern part of the beach and flood embankments lining the Axe Estuary. Historic mapping, survey data and field observations have been used to assess changes in the form of the beach and dunes and to interpret flows of sediment transport. It is found that the beach has historically remained relatively stable with a general movement of sediment from north to south.

The wider study area (as defined by the extent of Figure 19.1) is home to a number of significant commercial ports, in particular Bristol (Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock), Cardiff, Newport and Barry, with circa 8 smaller ports including Bristol City Docks and Bridgwater. Collectively these ports are an important part of the regional and national economy; in 2013 they handled around 15.5 million tonnes of cargo. This represents approximately 4% of the UK total (DfT, 2014). 19.1.1.2 Commercial vessels enter the Severn Estuary from the south-west via the deep water approaches in the Bristol Channel. Those bound for Cardiff navigate to the northwest of Flat Holm whilst those transiting to Newport, Bristol or locations up- estuary of the Severn Bridge crossings take the deep water channel between Flat Holm and Steep Holm (Figure 19.2). Vessels bound for Newport usually transit north of Flat Holm and south of Monkstone, then transit towards the Newport Channel. Vessels bound for Bristol and Sharpness navigate through the Bristol Deep and King Road channels, with vessels continuing to Sharpness on the tidal River Severn (STP, 2010). 19.1.1.3 Port access is tidally restricted, with water levels at Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and Barry controlled by lock gates.
