Wallscourt Farm 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.
Wallscourt Farm Academy is a Primary school located in Stoke Gifford, Bristol. At Wallscourt Farm Academy we talk about being ‘one learning community’ where we strive to be at the heart of, and serve, the Cheswick Village community. We are proud to be a part of the Cabot Learning Federation with whom we have crafted and created a school that the community can be proud of.
We are passionate about learning and want to create ambitious young people who are culturally aware and who are able to contribute positively to their own lives and the lives of others. We hold high expectations for our learners and have crafted a curriculum that is progressive, purposeful and inspiring.
Our school is open plan as we want to blur the artificial boundaries of the classroom, key stages and phases and remove both artificial and structural partitions that often stifle and hinder the true potential of learners (and teachers’) creativity.
