It is a child centred organisation that has exemplary behaviour and an unmatched pastoral system that puts the welfare of students and staff at its core. The academy continues to make a significant impact on the education and welfare of the community in Yeovil. It was judged ‘Good’ by OFSTED in October 2023, 2018 and 2014. Student numbers have grown along with its reputation within the area and we were heavily oversubscribed in the last five year’s intake. There has been significant investment in the site over the last few years, including new sports facilities and Creative Arts spaces. Yeovil is a growing town and the Academy has seen its student numbers increase to 1055 this year.
