  • (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. Kenton Mee, CEO, NSPCWT 233 Parent Carers responded to our survey declaring that they are a parent Q2. How do you rate services/provision in North carer whose child is aged 0-25 and has any additional need or disability along with Somerset for children and young people (aged 0-25 living in North Somerset. years) with additional needs and/or disabilities? Thanks to South Glos Parent & Carer Forum who have worked co-productively with us to develop the contents of this survey. We will continue to work with all stakeholders in collecting the most helpful data that can influence improvements very good (26) very poor (36) and highlight successes in provision.

  • 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.

In this they join businesses, hospitals and hospices, for us, that we had perhaps not colleges and universities, the armed forces and police, sports clubs and expected. Patrick has earned huge local government, few of which are Christian foundations. I give thanks respect in our community and has that this barrier is breaking down in schools.
