Welcome message from Lynette Carter, Principal Designate

I am delighted to welcome you to the website for the new St Ursula’s E-ACT Academy. I am looking forward to the start of the new school year, with so many new pupils joining us in Reception. I am also looking forward to getting to know the new pupils, parents and staff.

The St Ursula’s E-ACT Academy will officially open on September 5th 2011 and will be the very first Primary Academy in Bristol. This means that the Academy will no longer charge fees to parents. The Academy will have an intake of 60 new reception-age pupils, alongside primary pupils and some staff from the former School. As an Academy, we will have the flexibility to recognise and nurture each child’s desire to discover new things and learn by developing a framework that enables and supports learning and which provides guidance and direction while making sure that every child is recognised as an individual. We will strive to make St Ursula's E-ACT Academy the centre of excellence for Early Years and Primary practice, developing learners who are confident in their own ability to learn, successful in their learning and able to exercise increasing levels of independence. We will seek to engage with parents and carers to understand what they need from the Academy and how it can be part of their community and its future development.

This website has all the information you will need to know about the new Academy, including Term Dates information about the Sponsors and Governors; the Uniform; the Curriculum and the School Day.

We will be updating the site regularly with the latest news.
