By Jill Dando News

Over £4 million in Academy improvements have been made in four years at one of the south west’s fastest improving schools.

The King Alfred School Academy in Highbridge, Somerset has seen over £4 million spent on its facilities in only four years. 

The news was released on the eve of the Open Evening for its amazing Sixth Form this Thursday (29th September) from 6pm.

The remarkable level of investment is part of the reason for its huge popularity – and is now seeing higher student intake numbers than in at least 25 years.

With many schools across the country struggling to make improvements to their sites, TKASA is bucking the national trend with millions of pounds spent on site improvements, expansions, and additional buildings.

TKASA also has a successful Sixth Form which has also seen a massive expansion in numbers and investment.

The investment began four years ago after TKASA became part of The Priory Learning Trust with Nathan Jenkins becoming Principal at the same time. Mr Jenkins is now CEO of TPLT with Dan Milford becoming Principal of TKASA.

Mr Milford said: “It is an extraordinary amount of investment that we have seen and our campus looks stunning in so many ways.

“We have had years of brilliant news with fabulous GCSE and A Level results, and the expansion of our Sixth Form, and the site improvements and superb facilities.

“It is also wonderful to see student numbers growing with the biggest intake in at least 25 years. There is a buzz across the academy and rightly so.”

The King Alfred School Academy Sixth Form will open its doors on Thursday 29th September from 6pm for all Year 11 students wishing to join the incredible post 16 provision.
