Yeovil School
Yeovil School was a boys' grammar school in the Somerset town of Yeovil that was in existence 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, later Westfield Academy, Yeovil. The grammar school sixth forms became part of a new Yeovil College, with the former Yeovil School site housing the college's science and business department.
