About Nailsea School
Our School
Nailsea School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form. Situated less than 10 miles from Bristol it enjoys the benefits of a small town whilst being on the doorstep of one of the U.K.’s most prosperous, vibrant and creative cities. Nailsea School is a community that demonstrates a common purpose - to ensure the very best for each and everyone of their students.
At Nailsea School all students are valued and each individual is encouraged to be the best version of themselves: to Aspire, Believe and Succeed.
The Whole Child
The change from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and we believe that confidence, happiness and strong communication skills form the foundations for success. Our in-school pastoral team advise and nurture the whole child, offering support with social skills, peer problems, anxiety, home or academic issues. Experts in safeguarding, counselling and mentoring work alongside our Heads of House and tutors to support students well-being. The House structure’s vertical tutor groups integrate year groups and encourages peer to peer learning and support. This leads to strong friendships, confident relationships between groups and a comfortable family base from which students thrive. Feedback from a dynamic student voice programme connecting the whole school, reveals students to be happy and flourishing. We are proud of the behaviour of our students and visitors often remark on the studious, calm atmosphere within the school. Staff and students work together to ensure the effectiveness of rules and behaviour policies around the school create a fair and safe environment for all, with a focus on effort as well as achievement.
A Place for Everyone
Understanding that each child is different, Nailsea School has developed a range of inclusive ways to meet individual needs including a specialist learning centre within the school for students with specific educational needs and disabilities. The Hub is a place where children access a reduced mainstream timetable to improve literacy, numeracy and social skills. The low stress setting of The Hub, within the centre of the school, provides a nurturing environment through Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, and children using this area are encouraged to join in with mainstream life.
Teachers at Nailsea are skilled in adopting and responding to the learning needs of all students and there is also extra support in the form of dedicated Teaching and Learning Support Assistants within lessons for those who experience specific learning difficulties.
Our Facilities
Nailsea School was re-built in 2009 and the space speaks for itself; designed with students in mind, its free-flowing structure makes navigation easy and there is a sense of calm learning throughout the school. As well as benefiting from excellent sporting facilities, including an all-weather pitch, fantastic creative arts facilities with music, TV and art studios, and technology throughout the school, it has excellent ecological credentials. Students can visit the DEN area (Developing Engagement with Nature) where forest school principles are taught. Green technology has been developed throughout the school, the main heating source is through a biomass boiler, we have sensory lighting and use solar panels to heat our water and provide electricity for external lighting. Even the toilets use recycled greywater. Our carbon footprint is improving year on year and we recycle throughout the school.
