North Star Academy Trust is a small multi‑academy trust that was set up with the ambition to improve the SEND provision in the South West and provide as many young people as possible with a bespoke, specialist education that is tailored to each individual's needs. North Star Alternative Learning provision is a new school which opened in a brand new building in the north of Bristol in September 2024.

The school has easy access to the M4 and M5.
