Worle Community School
Worle Community School - an Academy (often shortened to WCSA) is a coeducational secondary school academy located in Worle, a suburb of Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset, England.
There are currently 1,348 students aged 11 to 16 in the school.[2]
The school received media attention[3] in early 2016 after a student was stabbed. Shortly after, an Ofsted inspection revealed the school to perform inadequately in every aspect, resulting being placed into special measures. In order to increase the school's performance, on March 1, 2017, Worle Community School became an academy as part of The Priory Learning Trust.[4]
