Our academy is a vibrant and inclusive community committed to ensuring every student achieves strong outcomes, feels a sense  of belonging and develops the confidence and character needed for life beyond  school.

As an all-through academy, we work closely with our Primary phase to build  strong relationships and maintain consistent expectations. This helps us know our  students well, support them effectively and create a culture where they feel safe, valued and challenged to achieve their best. Our staff are central to this mission,  and  we seek colleagues who share our ambition, high expectations and belief in the  potential of every young person.

We are proud of the significant improvements made in recent years, including strong Key Stage 4 outcomes. These achievements reflect the dedication and expertise of our staff, who deliver high quality teaching alongside excellent pastoral care. Their commitment ensures students have the knowledge, resilience and support they need to succeed.

Our identity is rooted in the South Bristol community, and we value our partnerships with families and local organisations. These relationships enrich our curriculum and broaden opportunities for students. If you are passionate about making a meaningful difference and excited to contribute to our next chapter, I warmly encourage you to visit us and experience what makes Bristol Academy South Secondary such a special place to work.

E-ACT Bristol Academy South is a vibrant, nurturing and ambitious community where children and young people aged three to eighteen are supported to thrive. Being one academy enables us to build long-lasting relationships, ensure continuity in learning and pastoral care, and maintain a deep understanding of every child’s journey. Across both Primary and Secondary phases, our purpose is clear: to provide an excellent education while preparing pupils for life beyond the classroom.

Our ethos is rooted in high expectations and guided by shared values. We foster a culture where personal development is valued alongside academic success. We promote confidence, integrity and a strong sense of personal worth, encouraging all pupils to take pride in their achievements and contribute positively to our academy community. Strong partnerships with families and a commitment to honesty, hard work and respect shape the relationships that underpin daily life at Bristol Academy South.

Across all phases, we champion a lifelong love of learning through a carefully sequenced, knowledge‑rich curriculum designed to help pupils “know more” and “remember more.” A firm foundation in literacy, numeracy, personal development and wellbeing prepares pupils for each stage of their education and for the wider world. Safeguarding and wellbeing remain central to our culture - from early years to post-16 - ensuring that Bristol Academy South is a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where every child and young person is known, valued and empowered to achieve their very best.

At E-ACT, we have an excellent network of support and educational expertise across our 28 academies to deliver the very best education to our pupils. We have 2,500 colleagues who each play a vital role in educating our 18,000 pupils.
