Nailsea School has been ranked as one of the best in the region. The school recently published 2024 Progress 8 Score is +0.26, it signifies that the school is now ranked first across North Somerset for progressing its student’s potential, and that students at Nailsea School have considerably out-performed expectations nationally.
Since 2019 the school has been amongst the most improved in the South West and the top 3% nationally, attracting recent attention from The Sunday Times, who place Nailsea as the 7th best comprehensive in the South West.
Headteacher Mrs Elliott said: “In 2019 it was clear that there was work that needed to be done, and our team have rolled up their sleeves and worked incredibly hard to help our students reach their potential and beyond. I am very proud of everyone here, and the results we have achieved in such a short time frame”.
She continues: “I will always recognise that some individual student journeys will be tougher than others, that behind every result is often a unique story of endeavour, which is why this result is particularly meaningful – it shows how far all of our students have progressed, celebrating the potential of all students and not just those at the very top.
“Nailsea School has long emphasised a child-centred approach to learning, with a focus on the wellbeing of children in its care, it means the carefully tailored curriculum and excellent teaching methods combined with outstanding pastoral care can lead to exceptional outcomes for every student. The gaps between different groups of learners not only exceed the national average but also continue to improve at a significant rate, particularly boys and pupil premium.
“The school continues to develop its journey responding to the ever-changing backdrop of student needs and government direction.”
