Summerhill 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.
All members of the Summerhill Community adhere to our core values:
kind, safe, respectful, learning.
A calm and caring environment nurtures all children to grow and succeed both socially and academically. At Summerhill we follow an ambitious and progressive curriculum which exceeds the requirements of the national curriculum and leads to strong outcomes at the end of Key Stage 2. We inspire a love for learning and equip children for their future lives. Learning opportunities occur across our large, historic site, as well as on engaging educational trips and visits that broaden children’s life experiences and build cultural capital.
