We’ve reimagined education. We believe it should be an exciting adventure where young people feel engaged and empowered to learn, where curiosity is celebrated, and where asking difficult questions is encouraged.

We aim to send children out into the world with a strong sense of who they are, what they love, and how they are going to make a difference in the world! We do this by inspiring and supporting them – while giving them the space to figure things out for themselves. We want them to leave our school filled with self-belief and a sense of purpose, ready to rise to the challenge of life in the twenty-first century and excited about whatever the next stage of their adventure looks like.

The remains of Farleigh Hungerford Castle stand in the beautiful valley of the river Frome, just nine miles from Bath. Started in the 14th century, the fortified mansion still has much for visitors to enjoy - providing a great day out for families, couples, and walkers enjoying the surrounding countryside.
 
The castle was occupied for 300 years by the remarkable Hungerford family and today their intriguing, yet sometimes gruesome stories are told through graphic panels and a free audio tour. There are many hidden treasures - the chapel with rare medieval wall paintings and family tombs, extensive displays in the Priest’s house, and for those who are brave enough to enter the crypt, there’s the best collection of human-shaped lead coffins in Britain.
 

After completing a degree in ceramics at Bristol, Matt worked for potteries in Bath and in the Hebrides throughout the 1990’s. In 2001 he set up a workshop at Stowford Manor Farm in Wiltshire, where he has continued to work since.

Matt throws with a Cornish stoneware clay and makes a range of tableware alongside individual and larger pieces. His pots are fired in an 18cu.ft kiln, built in 2004, which takes up to 18 hours to reach the top temperature of 1300C. Flame in the kiln gives a warm ‘toasted’ finish to the clay.

The glazes, which are mostly Oriental in origin, include copper reds, iron-rich tenmoku, shino, kaki, blue jun and a cream-coloured chun. Other glazes make use of ‘found’ materials such as wood ash and local clays, which create the character and colour of the glaze. Matt is increasingly interested in developing more of these beautiful and exciting glazes.
