Welcome to Nailsea School.  

I am delighted that you wish to find out about our school – a place that I consider to be a fantastic community to work and to learn. By ensuring your child’s happiness remains our first priority, we know they will go onto achieve their full potential here with us. 

Nailsea is a completely comprehensive school offering high quality educational opportunities to students of all abilities and aptitudes.

We care deeply not only about the academic development of our students but also their emotional and personal development. We recognise that every student has their own individual strengths, gifts and talents and our aim is to ensure that these are all developed to their full potential.

We want to help young people to be fit for the demands of a complex, global society. We have a track record of students being involved in outdoor education, musical, dramatic and sporting enrichment, and in serving both the school and our wider community. 

Nailsea is a happy school where students and teachers enjoy working together. We have a strong ethos based on core values of respect, tolerance and courtesy. We set high standards of behaviour. Our young people gain the confidence to take their place in society and develop the skills and attitudes to enable them to succeed in their chosen paths.  

I am privileged to be able to work with a dedicated and gifted staff body who work in partnership with parents, governors and the local community to ensure that our young people are supported, challenged and inspired to achieve. 

I would encourage you to visit the school to experience things for yourself and I would be more than happy to take you on a tour of the site to see our staff and students in action. Please contact the school reception team on 01275 852251 to arrange a time that is convenient.  

If you require paper copies of any of the documents on our website please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in our school and I look forward to welcoming you.
