Friday 18th October is “Show Racism the Red Card” Wear Red Day
For any parents and pupils who were unable to attend our Open evening, we would very much like to welcome you and your child into school on this morning instead.
We are pleased to advise that we have received four nominations for the two Parent Governor vacancies, and it will therefore be necessary to hold a ballot.
As noted in our Parent Information evenings, our Careers Convention is one of the most popular events in the school calendar and we are delighted to host a wide range of employers and educational providers again this year. This event is open to all Year groups but it is particularly important for students in years 9-13 as they think about their GCSEs, work experience and Post 16/18 options.
On Thursday 22nd August we welcomed our Year 11 students into school to collect their GCSE results. We are so proud of each, and every student and we were delighted to be able to share the morning with our young people to celebrate their achievements.
There was a host of top performers; with 30 pupils achieving at least eight Grade 7s or better. These include Lucas F, who secured a Grade 9 in all 10 of his GCSEs, Saskia P, Emily W (with nine Grade 9s), Sophie B (with eight Grade 9s) and Femke L (with seven Grade 9s). Achievement across the whole ability profile has been strong and we are especially pleased with the progress of our disadvantaged students, as they have achieved the best outcomes in the last 5 years.
Gordano’s Headteacher, Louise Blundell, commented, “We are so pleased to be able to celebrate the achievements of our fabulous Year 11 students. As a cohort they have brilliantly navigated their educational journey, demonstrating their resilience and determination each step of the way. We are so delighted to see their individual achievements today but also the contributions they have made to our community over the last 5 years. We are incredibly proud of the young people they have grown into through their time at Gordano School – they are a wonderful year group, and we wish them all the very best in their future pathway.
“Many of our young people will be returning to Gordano Sixth Form, which saw some pleasing results last week. Whether our students are staying with us, moving onto college or progressing to Apprenticeships such as Jac R who has secured a prestigious apprenticeship with Rotork, we wish them every success in their bright futures. Congratulations to them all and I would also like to extend a huge thank you to our staff and parents who have supported them unconditionally.”

We are holding our annual Open Evening on Thursday 26th September for prospective pupils to Gordano School in September 2025 and we would very much like to welcome you and your child into school on that evening.
The school will be open from 4pm to 7.30pm. In order to ensure everybody’s safety and comfort, we will ask you to book a time to visit the school and a link to a booking system which will enable you to select your preferred time slot is included below. We would ask that you limit your booking to a maximum of 3 seats to ensure as many families as possible can attend. We are running three presentations in the Main Hall: the first presentation takes place at 4pm, and this will be repeated at 5pm and 6pm. During the evening there will be an opportunity for you to meet Louise Blundell, Headteacher, and other staff, and to tour the school with the help of our pupil guides.
This is an exciting time to join Gordano, as we are able to boast ever improving facilities alongside great exam results. Our ethos at Gordano is about developing the whole person and Ms Blundell will be talking about how we seek to balance personal development with academic achievement, while making sure that the experience of being a pupil at Gordano is thoroughly enjoyable.
As we are expecting a large turnout on the evening, car parking is likely to be difficult; if you live close to the school we would strongly encourage you to walk! If you do choose to come by car, parking will only be available on the school field, accessed via Clevedon Road, and our Sixth Form students will be on hand to direct you there.
If you are unable to attend on Thursday evening, you may like to attend our Open Morning on Friday 4th October at 9.45am, further details regarding this will be available in due course.
