A successful, high-performing 11-18 mixed comprehensive that is popular and over-subscribed, with almost 1300 students on roll. The school is set on the east side of Keynsham, eight miles north-west of Bath and seven miles south-east of Bristol and we are fortunate to have a large, semi-rural setting with excellent transport links for students and staff. Having been part of the Wellsway Multi-Academy Trust since it was founded has already brought many benefits to the school community and a real strength of the trust is its cross phase nature, allowing us to work with leaders with a wide range of experiences and students across all the age ranges.
