Bristol Metropolitan Academy
The Cabot Learning Federation is a family of 35 schools in Bristol, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Somerset. We are a mature multi-academy trust (MAT) serving communities in the South West, and a leading partner in the Five Counties Teaching School Alliance.
Bristol Metropolitan Academy is a diverse secondary school with over 1,000 students, characterised by energy, enthusiasm and a strong sense of community. The years at school are few and precious, and it is important that students at Bristol Met have a strong sense of belonging and a belief in their right and their ability to achieve highly. Our staff are dedicated to ensuring that every student’s needs are met within and beyond lessons, and we are committed to working effectively with our students and their family to achieve this goal. At Bristol Met we believe in High Standards, High Aspirations & High Expectations.
