Fifteen Somerset schools plan a 2026 merger to create a unified education pathway, pending approval.
Fifteen schools in Somerset, including several in Bridgwater, Crewkerne, and Weston-super-Mare, are proposing a merger under plans by the Quantock Education Trust and Bridgwater & Taunton College Trust.
If approved, the move would create a unified 'cradle to career' education pathway for around 7,500 pupils and 1,000 staff, with governance shared between a joint board and local committees.
The merger, pending approval from both trusts and the Department of Education, could begin as early as September 1, 2026, and aims to strengthen links with further education providers.
Meanwhile, St George’s Church School and St Mark’s Primary School in Weston-super-Mare, along with three other Somerset schools, received national recognition from the UK Secretary of State for Education for exceptional outcomes among disadvantaged pupils in the 2024–25 school year, praised for inclusion, leadership, and tailored support.
