At Somervale, challenge, learning and growth are provided for everyone.
Challenge we insist on high standards and we provide a curriculum that meets every students¹ needs. Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring all students develop the basic skills in English and Maths as well as having a greater degree of choice as they get older. We place great emphasis on good standards of behaviour and appearance, which are essential for the creation of a calm and productive environment for learning.
Learning we provide the best possible teaching to give our students every opportunity to succeed. Somervale has committed and experienced teachers who enjoy working with our young people and who are dedicated to their well-being. They are very ably assisted by an equally committed support staff. Somervale¹s specialist status as a Media Arts College means the school possesses an enviable range of resources which enhance students¹ learning.

I am very privileged to be the head teacher of Somervale School. Everyone at the school is committed to working with the students and their parents to help our young people to be good members of society and to achieve as highly as possible.
About Somervale School

It is a Bath and North East Somerset Authority community school for girls and boys from 11 to 19.
In September 2000 Somervale became a specialist Media Arts College and enjoys the benefits of the very latest technology and technical expertise.
