Welcome to Bridgwater College Academy
BCA is an all-through Academy. Every day, we strive to live our values of respect, responsibility, and resilience.
At Bridgwater College Academy, we provide a high-quality education in a safe, caring, and focused environment. We teach skills and knowledge, enabling our students to become responsible, well-rounded citizens, equipped with the tools to make effective choices for their futures.
BCA is Somerset’s only all-through academy; our school is special. Our students are supported within a safe and consistent environment which allows them to thrive. We know our students very well and take pride in developing positive relationships with our families to ensure that we work with you to secure the best possible outcomes for young people.
At Bridgwater College Academy students are smart, polite, hardworking and considerate of others; we are immensely proud of each and every one of them.
There are many advantages of being ‘all-through’ for students. We are able to ensure that students’ progress between the various phases of education does not slow down as a result of transition. We are in a unique position to be able to build upon all previous learning opportunities with a connected and seamless curriculum, forensic tracking of student progress, monitoring of support and interventions and a comprehensive and holistic view of well-being and student support.
At Bridgwater College Academy we have an exceptional team of dedicated staff who provide our students with an inspiring and supportive learning environment. As adults, our core purpose is to ensure that every child is challenged to realise their full potential and encouraged to be aspirational in their choices for the future.
We have high expectations at BCA and reject the view that success in life is pre-determined or that our talents are fixed. We improve through practice; calm, focused classrooms led by knowledgeable, passionate teachers provide our students with the ideal environment for this practice to take place. Our students work hard, aim high, and take pride in their learning.
I am immensely proud of working in our team of staff and students at BCA. If you would like to know more, do come and see us for yourself. Get in touch by emailing us at office@bridgwatercollegeacademy.org
