Welcome to Pyrland School
Welcome to the website for Pyrland School. We are an oversubscribed secondary school in Taunton, Somerset. Having led Buckler’s Mead Academy in Yeovil to a strong ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement in May 2024, I will be taking on leadership responsibilities for Pyrland School in its next phase of development. I believe the students who come to this school deserve the very best education, which is rooted in a culture of sky high expectations. Our community deserves nothing but the best. I hope this website and our news section give a good flavour of our work, please contact us if you have any queries.
