Yeovil School

Yeovil School was a boys' Grammar School that existed from 1845 to 1975.[1]

History

In 1975 the school joined with Yeovil High School (a girls' grammar school) and Summerleaze Secondary Modern School to form Westfield Comprehensive School, now Westfield Academy, Yeovil. The grammar school sixth forms moved to Yeovil College, and the former Yeovil School site became a science and business department for Yeovil College.
