Ansford Academy is an inclusive community school with a key role in developing the lives of the young people in our care.  We are at an exciting time in our development journey and the school is well positioned to continue improving so that we can offer our young people the very best educational experience possible.  Staff, Governors and the wider school community are all entirely focused on ensuring that Ansford offers all of our young people a happy, supportive and challenging environment that delivers an exceptional education. 

The Academy’s motto “Learning Together To Lead Our Lives”  reflects our central focus on teaching and learning, with a determination that every student should achieve their very best, whatever their starting point- we want our students to go on to lead fulfilling lives.    Collaboration is at the heart of how we work and we expect all our staff to be learners too, developing their skills and their careers. 

Our new Headteacher will be responsible for taking forward and consolidating improvement work which is centered on curriculum refinement, ensuring high quality teaching and learning in all classrooms, developing our reading provision and reinforcing quality assurance processes. There is a detailed School Improvement Plan and Ofsted Action Plan in place for the new Headteacher to take forward backed by other leaders who know the school and children well. The Academy continues to work with the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership (MNSP); a partnership that is central to the school's next stage in its development journey. Our new Headteacher can rely on significant Trust support and resources in taking the school to the next level.
