What are the schools like??

Answer 1

Weston is not a great place to live. I've got friends who live there and most of them hate it. One has even resorted to going to boarding school just to get away from it. It's got too many tourists in summer, and then it's dead in winter. Plus, Bristol CC sends all Bristol's drug addicts to WSM for drug treatment.

Answer 2

SERIOUSLY the Bournville Estate is the ROUGHEST part of Weston super Mare to live in.  At least a third of the people who live there have got a current ASBO or restrainig order on them.

Bit like Beirut - bloody awful area of Weston, avoid it like the plague

Answer 4

There are two secondary schools within your catchment, Broadoak and Wyvern, they are slightly different in approach but they both are good schools. (Look them up on the web).

There are several primaries, Bournville, Oldmixon and I can't think of the other! I think both have nurseries and they are good too, there is also the 'Healthy Living Centre' which runs groups for pre-schoolers.

As with all estates it has parts which are not fantastic but it has also had lots of money invested into it recently and there is a super youth club and drama club.

Weston is lovely, huge beach, peaceful parks, shops and loads of opportunities for you all.
