About Holyrood Academy
Holyrood Academy is an 11-18 over-subscribed Academy in Somerset with approximately 1400 students on roll, including around 170 in the Sixth Form. Since 1910, the school has existed in the centre of the historic market town of Chard in South Somerset and it is the only secondary school in the town. We are therefore fully comprehensive and committed to providing an excellent education in the service of our whole community.
Holyrood Academy is part of Blackdown Education Partnership. Being part of this successful family of schools allows us to share good practice and provides exceptional opportunities to learn from each other. All our senior leaders are system leaders and regularly contribute to the leadership programmes of Teaching Schools across the region including those led by our own Training School.
Holyrood benefits from a large and beautifully situated site of 43 acres and is within easy commuting distance of towns such as Taunton and Yeovil as well as the cities of Exeter and Bristol. Chard is on the edge of the Blackdown Hills and close to the beautiful Jurassic Coast.
At Holyrood, our beliefs about education are very simple: we believe that every student, regardless of background or ability, should be supported and challenged to achieve the very best they can. Academic achievement is of paramount importance here and education has a unique power to unlock doors to opportunities in the future - this is the core purpose of Holyrood. Holyrood has a diverse and extremely talented student body, of which we are very proud.
We are a comprehensive school and as such we are absolutely committed to making sure that every child's ambitions are nurtured and encouraged. Alongside this and of equal importance is the wider set of opportunities that students get to experience success on the stage, in the art studio, on a trip or on the sports field.
We make no apology for wanting our students to achieve fantastically well whilst enjoying school in a happy and safe environment.
