Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College is a secondary school in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England. The school, which has specialist Mathematics and Computing College status, has 897 students between the ages of 11 and 16 years.[1]

Academic achievement

In 2009, 39% of pupils achieve five GCSEs at grade A* to C including Mathematics and English.[2] This compares with 52% for North Somerset and 49.8% for the rest of the country. However, absence figures were below the local and national averages.[2]

In June 2008, the school received a rating of "good" from Ofsted.[3] In 2003, the school was rated as "unsatisfactory" by Ofsted and achievement standards were described as "well below average",[4] although the report did note that the school was improving and praised the leadership of the newly appointed headteacher. In the 2002–2003 academic year the headteacher of The Kings of Wessex School in Cheddar was seconded to the school by the local education authority,[5] after the school's governors lost control of their budget in March 2002,[4] after they reached a £250,000 deficit.[6]

In 2007, the school was given the Artsmark award by the Arts Council England.[7]
