Our School
Pyrland School has recently joined the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership, a large Trust based in the Southwest of England. The trust’s vision is simple: we strive to ensure all children can attend a good or better school, regardless of their socio-economic background or postcode. We believe that this can be achieved through well-planned, meaningful collaboration between schools and relentless high expectations in everything we do.
