Broadoak Academy
About Broadoak Academy
Broadoak Academy is a mixed state secondary in North Somerset, serving 736 pupils aged 11 to 16. It sits within a local authority where none of the 12 secondary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, making its Good rating a solid benchmark. Among its peers in the same area, the school ranks behind Nailsea School, Hans Price Academy, and Backwell School on a composite ranking score, placing it in the middle tier of North Somerset secondaries. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Ian Walsh. Its location in the South West region means it competes for families with a mix of coastal and suburban schools, and its size is modest compared with some larger comprehensives nearby.
