The area around the school

Measured by the 2025 English Indices of Deprivation, the neighbourhood Voyage Learning Campus stands in is among the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in England. This describes where the school is, not where its pupils live.

In August 2026, police recorded 199 crimes within a mile of the school, most often violence and sexual offences, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson. That is well above the typical figure around schools in North Somerset (76), as is usual near a town centre.
