Summerhill Academy’s commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment for all has seen it rewarded with a School of Sanctuary Award.
School of Sanctuary Awards recognise nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools that go above and beyond to foster safe, welcoming and inclusive environments for asylum-seeking and refugee families.
A Bristol PE lead, whose work to develop a thriving school sporting culture has helped establish one of the most successful school basketball programmes in the country, has been awarded an MBE in the King’s 2026 Birthday Honours List.
Frome Vale Academy in Bristol has earned praise from Ofsted for its ‘strong’ leadership and teaching, as well as the behaviour, wellbeing and academic achievement of its pupils.
In the school’s first inspection under the schools’ watchdog’s new framework, Frome Vale received ‘strong’ grades in five of the seven areas, and was told it meets expectations in the remaining two.
