At St. Matthias Academy, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and inspiring environment where every student is given the tools and support they need to thrive. As a unique trio of alternative provisions, we proudly serve the young people of Bristol and Bath, offering a safe space for those who face significant challenges in their educational journey.

Our recent "Good" rating from Ofsted in September 2024 is a testament to the hard work, passion, and commitment of our staff and students. However, we know that this is just the beginning. We are driven by an unwavering belief in the potential of each student and are continually striving to create an environment where every child, no matter their background or previous experiences, can succeed.

Our curriculum is diverse and inclusive, blending both academic and vocational subjects to give our students a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills. With teacher specialists in each subject, we ensure that every lesson is engaging, inspiring, and tailored to meet individual needs. But education at St. Matthias isn't just about the subjects. We also recognise the importance of emotional well-being and personal development. This is why we offer a wide range of therapeutic interventions to help our students build resilience, self-confidence, and a positive outlook for the future.

We are more than a school. We are a community where families, staff, and students work together to overcome obstacles and unlock the full potential of every young person who walks through our doors. Our aim is not just to educate but to empower and uplift, to ensure that every student leaves us feeling equipped, confident, and ready to take on whatever challenges lie ahead.

At St. Matthias Academy, we don’t just see potential, we nurture it. Together, we make dreams achievable.

Welcome to a place where everyone matters.
