Schools in Yeovil

Once a centre of aircraft and defence manufacturing, Yeovil in Somerset retains its distinctive 20th-century industrial character. Yeovil Country Park, which includes the Ninesprings area, provides extensive educational and sporting facilities. The 14th-century Church of St John the Baptist stands at the heart of the town centre. Around 31,000 residents live across the built-up area today.

The town's two railway stations serve regional lines, with trains reaching Bristol in around forty minutes. Abbey Manor Park and Penn Hill are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments, while Houndstone, Primrose, and Westfield extend the residential neighbourhoods.
