About Somervale School
Somervale School is a very popular, high achieving, 11 to 18 mixed comprehensive school situated in Midsomer Norton on the outskirts of Bath and on the edge of Somerset. The school occupies a large attractively landscaped site with an excellent range of specialist accommodation and facilities.
We are an extremely successful medium sized school and that makes us unique in the local area. We have all the benefits of any other school with the added bonus of an attention to detail that you simply cannot achieve in a larger school.
We place our students at the heart of everything that we do. We believe in working hard, being kind and enjoying learning.
The school received its second judgement of Good by Ofsted in 2016 and its high quality provision and attention to pastoral care was noted.
All students leave the school with an understanding of how to learn, think creatively, take risks and handle change. All students get the chance to participate and take leading roles in all the school has to offer. Self esteem and personal growth are nurtured and students take on responsibility as local and global citizens. A student’s chances of success are not related to their social economic background, gender or ethnicity.
Teachers use their expertise and knowledge to engage learners and act quickly to adjust their teaching in response to students’ needs.
The school’s attendance and behaviour has been held up as an example for other schools in the South West to follow as has the exceptional care, support and guidance students receive. In 2019 the school was recognised as having the highest student progress of all schools within BANES.
Somervale School serves Midsomer Norton, Radstock and the surrounding rural area where there is an abundance of attractive and affordable housing. The school is on the edge of the Mendips but close to both Bath and Wells.
