Bridgwater & Taunton College Trust

The Bridgwater College Trust came into existence in 2012 with the creation of Somerset’s first all-through school, The Bridgwater College Academy. Our Trust focusses on the power of local collaborative partnerships and includes Hamp Academy, Brymore Academy, Otterhampton Primary School, Stanchester and West Somerset College and Maiden Beech. We are all fully committed to ensuring that 'every child achieves'. That is every student benefits from exceptional education that optimises their attainment in preparation for the world of employment and life-long learning and enables them to grow in confidence to be able to fulfil their potential both as economically active members of society and as individuals. With in excess of 4000 students from 2-to-19 years old we have developed a track record and expertise in school improvement that is successful across all stages of education with all of our Academies being rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. As a successful and growing Multi Academy Trust we understand the power of local partnerships between schools within our Trust and across the wider geographical areas of South Somerset, Sedgemoor and West Somerset. As such we recognise our responsibility to all children, and we will work successfully to improve outcomes for young people not just in our own Academies but in all schools locally. All colleagues within the Bridgwater College Trust understand our core purpose and are on board with the understanding that children come first.
