We are delighted to welcome you to  Somerdale Educate Together Primary Academy which opened in September 2017. In September 2023, we now have 8 classes; Pre-school, Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 , Year 5 and Year 6.

We are an equity-based school where we live by the mottos ‘no child an outsider’ and ‘learn together to live together’. Our school celebrates diversity, individuality and respects each child’s identity, respecting that of their family equally. This enables us to develop the whole child, encouraging all children to excel. Our unique curriculum and core principles enable us to create a nurturing environment that develops the skills our children need to be global citizens for the increasingly diverse society that we live in.

As an Educate Together school

We value all children and the unique contribution that they offer to the school.

We believe that all children learn best when they feel safe and are happy in school.

We believe that respect underpins all of our relationships within school and with the outside world.

We ensure that all pupils achieve their fullest potential and are fully prepared for the next stage of learning and life

Our 4 core principles…

Equity-based - Through being equitable in our work, all children and staff will have equal access to their rights and, regardless of background, all will be equally respected.

Aspirational - All of our children have the right to a holistic world class education. All our work aims to ensure that every child can make progress and achieve well in every aspect of their education.

Child-centred - Children are at the heart of every decision and activity. Their voices are actively sought and listened to. They play a lead role in shaping their education.

Collaborative - Our schools aim to be central to the communities they serve. As such, we look for opportunities to give voice to and work in partnership with all stakeholders of the schools.

Welcome to Educate Together Academy Trust, a family of five schools across the Southwest of England, united by a shared ambition to provide an exceptional education for every child.

At the heart of our Trust is the simple belief that every child deserves to succeed. We are ambitious for our children academically, but we believe education is about much more than results. Our responsibility is to develop confident, compassionate and curious children who understand themselves, respect others and are well prepared for their future.

Alongside the National Curriculum, our unique Learn Together curriculum enables children to explore the world around them, develop their ethical understanding and build a strong sense of identity, purpose and values.

Our work is underpinned by four core principles: Equity-based, Aspirational, Child-centred and Collaborative. These principles shape our decisions, our relationships and our expectations throughout every school.

I am incredibly proud to work alongside our dedicated staff, leaders, governors and communities. By working together, sharing expertise and learning from one another, we can ensure that every child and every school will be successful.

Whether you are a parent, colleague, prospective employee or simply interested in our work, I warmly invite you to explore our Trust and discover more about the schools and communities we are privileged to serve.
