Based in the North of Bath, North Star 180° is an all through school (ages 5-16) that caters for pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Pupils who have difficulties with their emotional and social development may have limited social skills and find it difficult to make and sustain healthy relationships.

These difficulties may be displayed through the young person becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as through challenging, disruptive or disturbing behaviour. SEMH can manifest as difficulties relating to problems of mood (anxiety or depression), problems of conduct (oppositional defiance and more severe conduct problems including aggression), self-harm, substance abuse, eating disorders or physical symptoms that are medically unexplained. In addition to this some of pupils may have recognised disorders such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), attachment disorder, or generalised anxiety disorders.

Our school holds places for 104 pupils. All young people attending North Star 180° must have an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) in which the primary need is ‘Social and Emotional Mental Health.’ 

You would be joining a Multi Academy Trust formed in 2021 which started with two schools in Bristol. We have now expanded to four schools, including North Star 180° which joined the Trust in July 2024. 

All central services: Finance, HR & Operations, IT and Governance are provided by our central team which enables our schools to focus on teaching and learning. 

We look forward to hearing from you.
