The Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership Trust is focused on school improvement as its primary aim. Trustees believe that through effective and true collaboration, excellence can be achieved in our schools.

Schools that form the Trust are:
Primary Schools: Clutton, Dundry, Farrington Gurney, Hemington, High Littleton, Leigh on Mendip, Longvernal, Midsomer Norton, Norton Hill Primary, Peasedown St John, Shoscombe, St John's CofE, St Julian's, St Mary's, Trinity, Welton and Westfield.
