King's Oak 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.
King's Oak Academy is an all-through school which has the unique opportunity to build children's knowledge, skills and understanding of key concepts and ideas from the Early Years (Reception) up to Key Stage 4 (Year 11).
We have two key expectations for our students. That they WORK HARD and BE KIND. This simple phrase aligns with our determination that all of our children will feel successful and exploit all the opportunities available to them in their future. We have high expectations of our colleagues as well as our children within a highly inclusive Academy.
King’s Oak is the HEART of the Kingswood community; our work inspires our students to contribute to their community now and in their future as adults.
