We are delighted to see our new 3G astroturf pitch officially open for student use. This fantastic facility further enhances our already outstanding PE curriculum, and will no doubt be welcomed by many families as we move lessons from muddy grass to artificial turf over the coming weeks! It was also wonderful to see the pitch being used by Backwell Juniors Football Club on Tuesday evening. We very much see this as a community facility that we can all be proud of, and we look forward to welcoming more local groups to the school in the weeks ahead.
We are hugely grateful to our specialist contractors, S&C Slatter, for their expertise in creating this fantastic space for both our school and the wider community to enjoy.
U16 Netball Success – Sisters in Sport Competition
Our U16 Netball team hailed success in their match against Ysgol Maes Y Gwendraeth. Backwell celebrated winning 37-11. Player of the match was Maisie E. Congratulations team Backwell!
The whole Backwell School Equestrian team made it to the national British Showjumping finals in August 2025. We had a team in the 90cm (Lola B, Hattie M & Briony W), Hattie M as an individual at 1m and Holly M as an individual at 60cm and 70cm. Holly did exceptionally well to qualify in huge classes as these heights are so popular for schools.
The atmosphere was huge for the children and horses at Stoneleigh Park in Kenilworth, with temperatures hitting 34 degrees, loud music, flags and over 50 children in each class – the fastest and the best the UK had to offer. Our Backwell girls really did do us so proud.
Here are the results:
90cm team (Lola, Briony & Hattie): 4th place nationally for Backwell School, with Hattie M joint 1st amongst the teams.
1m: Hattie M 7th nationally for Backwell School.
70cm: Holly M team 4th for Bristol & Somerset.
Congratulations team Backwell. What an incredible set of results!
If you are planning on coming to school next week – for A-level/ KS5 results day – please be aware of a road closure in Flax Bourton.
More details are in this link:
http://www.northsomersettimes.co.uk/news/25349510.a370-close-flax-bourton-five-days-august/
It will impact all buses between Congresbury and Flax Bourton, meaning that none will run past the school on the A370 for the week. Motorists will be diverted via Long Ashton Bypass, Bridgwater Road, Red Hill, and surrounding roads.
Vehicular access via Nailsea and A370 from Yatton seems unimpeded.
Thank you.
For our first edition as ‘The New Croak Team’ we’ve decided to create this guide to help new students looking to join Backwell Sixth Form, as well as those moving up from lower school. We hope it will help you to see all the opportunities on offer for you during your Sixth Form experience! Make sure to keep an eye out for our next edition in term 1,
