At Worle Community School Academy, we work hard to make our students, staff and communities PROUD of Worle.
WCSA is a community school at heart - we focus on developing children and young people into well rounded individuals, who leave school not only with good grades, but also valuable life experiences and an aspirational mindset, with high expectations of, and for, themselves.

For teachers at WCSA, we support staff with a centralised detention system, centralised homework provision at KS3, a two week October half term break, and a sensible marking policy. We work together as one team to support each other, with the added benefit of being a part of a large Trust in the local area with opportunities that reflect this.

● Access to the PLaTform - where you can find exclusive shopping discounts and offers, and a dedicated wellbeing centre

About The Priory Learning Trust:
TPLT grew from an intent to bring the power of partnership and sharing to bear and provide a first-class education to a wide range of children, from all backgrounds.
At our heart is a passion to put ‘Students First’ and deliver exceptional education; beyond outstanding for every single child. We do this with a relentless drive for academic excellence, shared moral purpose and values combined with lots of fun and happiness. We believe that happy schools are also high-achieving, successful schools.
We strive for partnerships between students, families, staff and the wider community to create exceptional student outcomes. We also ‘cherish’ our staff. We believe they are amazing and are passionate to empower them through support, training, and career opportunities. With such brilliant people all aiming for the same goals, we are able to ensure every student achieves all that they are capable of and more, regardless of their background.
TPLT is also a successful Training School Alliance. This has been a great foundation on which to build for excellence. We know that this key focus on staff development will deliver exciting and effective learning to our children and young people.
