In September 2019, the Cabot Learning Federation celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Since 2009 the CLF has developed from a small Bristol-based secondary education partnership to an instinctively collaborative ambitious organisation of over 20 schools, serving the educational needs of over 12,000 children and young people aged 3 to 19.
Uphill Primary School, a primary school set in the heart of Weston-super-Mare, formally joined the CLF in October 2020, and in doing so became Uphill Village Academy.
Named after a historic parish of Weston-super-Mare, Winterstoke Hundred Academy opened in September 2020, welcoming its first cohort of Year 7 and Year 12 students.
Broadoak Academy joined the Federation in July 2019. Broadoak Academy will join the CLF’s North Somerset cluster of schools which include Hans Price Academy, Herons’ Moor Academy and Haywood Village Academy.
