萨默塞特的十五所学校，包括布里奇沃特、克鲁克恩和韦斯顿超级梅尔的几所，正在根据昆托克教育信托和布里奇沃特与汤顿学院信托的计划提出合并。 Fifteen schools in Somerset, including several in Bridgwater, Crewkerne, and Weston-super-Mare, are proposing a merger under plans by the Quantock Education Trust and Bridgwater & Taunton College Trust. 如果获得批准,这项举措将为大约7 500名学生和1 000名工作人员建立一个统一的“走向职业”的教育途径,由一个联合委员会和地方委员会共同治理。 If approved, the move would create a unified 'cradle to career' education pathway for around 7,500 pupils and 1,000 staff, with governance shared between a joint board and local committees. 这项合并,在得到信托基金和教育部的批准之前,早在2026年9月1日就可以开始,目的是加强与进一步教育提供者的联系。 The merger, pending approval from both trusts and the Department of Education, could begin as early as September 1, 2026, and aims to strengthen links with further education providers. 与此同时,圣乔治教会学校和圣马克(Weston-Super-Mare)小学以及另外三所萨默塞特(Somerset)学校在2024-25学年期间因处境不利的学生取得特殊成绩而获得英国教育大臣的承认,受到包容、领导和有针对性的支持的赞扬。 Meanwhile, St George’s Church School and St Mark’s Primary School in Weston-super-Mare, along with three other Somerset schools, received national recognition from the UK Secretary of State for Education for exceptional outcomes among disadvantaged pupils in the 2024–25 school year, praised for inclusion, leadership, and tailored support.
