Dan Turull is our Executive Headteacher, working alongside Andrew Dix, our Head of School, and a very strong and committed team of teachers and support staff.

In April 2017 the school became an academy as part of the Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership. This has opened up a significant amount of opportunities for the pupils at our school.

Fulfilment, Forgiveness, Foundation

Our school has served Farrington Gurney and the surrounding community for 160 years, consistently producing high standards of education. Our supportive and intimate environment allows children of all ages and abilities to achieve their best within a safe, secure and creative environment. 

There is a strong Christian ethos within the school, in which we encourage pupils and adults to have a caring and considerate attitude towards one another. We recognise and value the uniqueness of every child and encourage them to develop their independence and confidence.

Our school community prepares the way for children, as John the Baptist did for Jesus, to find fulfilment for themselves and others, to flourish as they learn to forgive and to seek forgiveness, and to build upon the firm foundation of Jesus' teachings.

The Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership was founded in 2009 following the hard federation between Norton Hill and Somervale Secondary Schools. Since this point the Trust has grown to include other secondary schools and a large number of primary schools, which are all located in the Southwest of England: Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and North Somerset. The full list of schools that are members of the Trust are shown above.

Midsomer Norton Schools' Partnership provides support and challenge to all of our schools so that our entire community of children and young people can achieve their best. The unique character of each school is celebrated and nurtured to ensure choice and variety in educational provision. The Trust is committed to providing a broad, balanced and aspirational curriculum in all of its schools, so that all children and young people develop the character and qualifications needed to open doors to their future success. A strong focus on developing and providing inspirational teaching and leadership in all schools, through school-to-school improvement, ensures outstanding progress and educational enjoyment for all members of our partnership’s community.
