About Snowdon Village:

Snowdon Village is the term used to describe a family of schools that sit within the Cabot Learning Federation. We currently have 4 schools namely, The Nest, Engage, Bristol Futures Academy and City School.

Our schools are alternative provisions and we provide education to students (ages 4 – 16) who have been excluded from mainstream schools or who have specific learning needs which mean they find it difficult to cope in a mainstream setting.

The Snowdon Village Values are:

• Positivity
• Equity
• Resilience
• Love

We are a trauma informed school and having an awareness and understanding of trauma sits at the heart of everything we do.
