14 to 19 year olds

Welcome to North Somerset's 14-19 pages. This is a time of huge and rapid change for the secondary curriculum.

Whether you work in a school or college, are a parent or carer, an employer, or a student our aim is to keep you up-to-date.

Within these pages you will find information about the national change agenda and what it means for schools, colleges and learners here in North Somerset.

"a shared responsibility - across institutions and between institutions …… in order to meet the needs of learners"

No single institution can, on its own, meet the new 14-19 curriculum entitlement; indeed submissions to offer specialist diplomas have to be made by partnerships of institutions.

We have ten secondary schools and three special schools within this area. Our further education partner is Weston College although some young people travel to colleges in Bristol or Bridgwater for post-16 provision.

There are four secondary schools located within Weston-super-Mare for age groups 11-16, these schools work in partnership with Weston College to offer post-16 courses.

Our six other secondary schools found outside of Weston-super-Mare have a provision for 11-19 age groups.

Two of are special schools offer 3-19 provision and the third offers 7-16 provision. We also have three Pupil Referral Units.
