Haywood Village 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.
Haywood Village Academy is a school where children feel safe, enjoy school and learn well. We provide a limitless education that empowers choice through enriching, meaningful and active opportunities developing lovely people.
As a school we have high aspirations for our children and believe that in partnership with parents and our community, we can give our children the guidance, opportunities and belief to make conscious choices.
Learning is personal and we all recognise the tremendous impact of those teachers who draw upon researched-based cognitive science and truly understand and know their pupils. We believe that in order for our children to thrive, their safety and happiness is paramount. The acquisition of knowledge, vocabulary and skills, as well as developing the characteristics of a truly successful learner are core to our approach. The school’s curriculum will ignite their love of learning, to enable them to have self-agency, now and in adulthood.
