Our Schools

Working closely with local communities

RET has worked in close partnership with parents, communities, and diocesan authorities to set up secondary schools. These schools are inclusive comprehensives with high academic standards, serving their locality and working as part of their local family of schools. Both RET, and the founding groups with whom we work, were firmly resolved that our schools would all be judged to be good or outstanding by Ofsted within two years of opening.  This has been the case with all five schools inspected. For more information about our schools please follow the links to their websites.

  • Bristol Free School was opened in 2011. It was established by RET in partnership with Parents’ Voice, a local campaigning group.
  • Since opening, Bristol's students have made progress in the top 25% of schools nationally. The school's English Baccalaureate success, and English and maths C+ grades are consistently significantly above national average.
  • The sixth form is very popular and successful; students achieve very good results allowing them to progress to the widest range of universities and degrees.
  • Bristol was judged good in all categories in its Ofsted Inspection that took place in March 2022.
