Preston is a Business & Enterprise Academy and part of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership In our most recent Ofsted inspection it was highlighted that ‘The school provides a wide and varied curriculum. It’s theme is enterprise with the intent to ‘bring learning to life and life to learning. Leaders have planned carefully what pupils need to learn They have ordered the content of each subject logically. This means that pupils build their understanding effectively over time.’
We also place a large emphasis on the development of character and personality of our students, alongside a relentless drive for improving progress in all of the subjects that they study. ‘Leaders encourage pupils to be aspirational. Pupils strive to do their best.’ Ofsted 2023
