St Mary’s C of E Primary School is set surrounded by countryside on the outskirts of Radstock near Midsomer Norton. The school was first built in 1901 to serve the community of Writhlington. Since then we have expanded dramatically, doubling in size, creating a single form entry school with spacious, well-resourced learning environments. The school is set in extensive, attractive grounds, which make a significant contribution to our curriculum and after school provision.

In August 2020, we joined The Partnership Trust, which is a multi-academy trust.
