Located on Mantle Street, the school is part of the Blackdown Education Partnership (BEP), a multi-academy trust that also includes Orchard Grove Primary in Taunton and Holyrood Academy in Chard. Currently, Court Fields offers tailored education through its Cove provision, designed to support students facing anxiety-related challenges. The new proposal focuses on expanding specialist support by transforming Block E, known as “The Bungalow,” into a dedicated unit catering to up to eight Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
