"Excellent School with Amazing Facilities"

We moved to Chard from a different area and were lucky to get a place at Holyrood. My child has settled in really well and loves the school. The facilities are fantastic, the teachers are supportive and the extra-curricular activities are plenty. We feel so lucky to be part of the Holyrood community.

"Great School with a Strong Sense of Community"

My child attended Holyrood from Year 7 to 11 and had a fantastic experience. The school's values of 'Work Hard, Be Kind and Join In' really resonated with our family. The teachers were excellent and the facilities were always well-maintained. We're so grateful for the education our child received.

"Good but Could Be Better"

We've been at Holyrood for a few years now and have mixed feelings. The school has a great location and the staff are friendly, but we've had some issues with communication and the workload can be heavy at times. Overall, it's a good school, but it could benefit from some improvements.
