Our Vision

Lansdown Park Academy wants to see a world where every child is valued for who they are, inspired to realise their potential and empowered to achieve their dreams.

Our Mission 

Is to provide a safe, inclusive and aspirational learning environment, where all pupils are prepared for their next steps and leave us with the skills to become well-rounded members of the community.

These statements form the backbone to everything that happens at Lansdown Park Academy. From the curriculum to the environment and to the experiences that pupils receive while with us.

In my career I have leadership experience within a range of educational settings across KS1-4 in both mainstream and alternative provision. No matter the setting I am firmly committed to a belief in high expectations for all and that all pupils have access to a high-quality education.

There has been significant progress and change since my appointment in January 2021. External monitoring through both Local Authorities and feedback from the schools that we work with has been overwhelmingly positive. Clear Pathways for all pupils are in place to ensure that we are providing a curriculum that is suited to each pupil.

Our positive working with schools is seen at its best through our Outreach programmes. This is where pupils remain with their mainstream setting but receive a weekly package of support from our trained staff. Our well-established Primary programme has seen a dramatic reduction in Permanent Exclusions across South Bristol.

Mr Todd

Head Teacher

At Lansdown Park Academy we strongly believe that every pupil  belong in a supportive educational environment where every pupil feels valued and part of our school community.   We believe that we support young people to grow and develop in their education and social skills and we encourage and inspire our pupils to succeed.   Wherever their next steps, we are committed to work and support  each individual to ensure they emerge prepared to make a positive next step.  

‘All different, All equal, All achieving together’

To create a learning environment which recognizes that all young people are different but all deserve equal opportunities to achieve to their full potential. We will deliver an outstanding, inclusive, personalised curriculum through a multi-disciplinary approach in order to equip our students with the skills and experiences needed to embrace life-long learning. 

Our Academy is part of the Cabot Learning Federation and benefits from all the advantages of being part of a group of academies.

Children visit other academies for sports and other events such as language or science activities. Students from the secondary academies visit us for to perform drama and take part in sports activities, as well as lead some of them. We share good practice between academies and teachers from all academies in the Federation visit the other academies for professional development.

Here at the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), we like to celebrate. We celebrate exam results, collaboration, achievement, innovations and new ideas; we celebrate the determination of our students; we celebrate the amazing role played by staff; and we celebrate the efforts and successes of our team.

We celebrate the small achievements and the big. But far from being self-congratulatory, we are always looking to learn, to improve education and to make a positive difference for students and their families. And that's where you come in.

 At the CLF, we value your experience, skills, expertise and ideas. We expect you to help us to be the very best education provider, and in return we will listen and support you to take your career in whichever direction you choose.

With the CLF you can be a leader, find solutions, become an expert, close the gaps and inspire and influence. The range of roles and opportunities in the CLF is as diverse as the communities we serve.

Or you may simply want to fulfil your defined role to the very best of your abilities.

Whatever our individual aspirations, together we make education real every day, in a very individual sense for each student. We learn each day from colleagues, students, families and local communities and we embrace our values and take pride in our work.

The Cabot Learning Federation is a partnership of schools that is sponsored by Rolls Royce PLC and The University of the West of England (UWE). It now sponsors twelve academies in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Weston super Mare and Bath. This means that we are responsible and accountable for the education of 5600 students between the ages of 3 and 19 and for the employment and support of over 1200 staff.

Our vision is based upon our mission of "collaboration for outstanding achievement" and the work that is now shared between our schools at senior and middle leadership level, teachers and support staff underpins this every day. All of our staff are employed by the CLF and this enables us to give colleagues the opportunity to work in more than one academy either for their own development or because the skills that they have are needed by more than one of our schools.

The Cabot Learning Federation enters 2015 with a new CEO, Steve Taylor. Steve has played a major part in the development of the federation, both as Principal of Bristol Metropolitan Academy and Executive Principal of the CLF: We are moving forward into the next era with confidence, building on the success of our 3-19 collaboration and continuing to change the face of learning and community cohesion for the areas in which our academies are located.
