About:
Story Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College is a secondary school in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England. The school, which has specialist Mathematics and Computing College status, and in January 2012 had 902 students between the ages of 11 and 16 years. Broadoak became an academy in February 2012.HistoryBroadoak originally opened as Weston-super-Mare Grammar School for Boys in 1922. Notable former pupils of the grammar school include Hugh Dykes, now Lord Dykes a Liberal Democrat peer; Paul Collard, co-founder of electronics company US Robotics; Nigel Hess, a composer best known for his television, theatre and film soundtracks; Richard Hearsey, a tv producer, writer and director best known for Game For A Laugh, You Bet and It's A Knockout; and Brian Rose, former Somerset County Cricket Club and England cricketer. The grammar became a comprehensive school in 1971, when it also admitted girls and changed its name to Broadoak. At the same time, the nearby Uphill Secondary Modern School in Oldmixon became the sixth form centre for Broadoak.Following a decline in student numbers, the sixth form was taken over by Weston College in 1998. The old grammar school buildings were demolished and replaced by a new school building in 1999. The former sixth form centre was demolished by Weston College in 2006. It was replaced by a new university and sixth form campus, which included the Jill Dando Centre, named after Broadoak sixth form student and head girl Jill Dando.
