About King’s Academy:
King’s Oak Academy is situated in the heart of the South Gloucestershire community and is within easy commuting distance of Bristol and Bath. The academy has been part of the Cabot Learning Federation since 2011 and enjoys the benefits from being part of a mature, successful multi-academy trust offering access to high-quality professional services and opportunities to work collaboratively with experienced colleagues across the trust.
As an all-through school, King's Oak is in a privileged position to educate children aged 4-16 and support their families over time. The academy's staff structure and estates are organised into three phases (Lower School: Reception to Year 4; Middle School: Years 5-8; Upper School: Years 9-11). This structure ensures that learning is high quality and responsive to pupils' development needs, long-term relationships are fostered with families and colleagues benefit from distinctive professional development and leadership opportunities that come from working in an all-through community school.
King’s Oak was inspected in June 2025 and secured an ‘Outstanding’ judgement in both Leadership and Management and Personal Development. Inspectors noted that “pupils thrive at King’s Oak Academy. The school expects them to ‘work hard, be kind’, and pupils strive to do this. There are high expectations of what pupils can achieve academically and of who they can become.” King’s Oak Academy is therefore an ambitious, values-led community in which staff are trusted, developed and supported to do their best work and where colleagues who share our commitment to high expectations, kindness and inclusive excellence can build a rewarding and sustained career.
