New primary school 'highly likely to be at the cost of playing fields'
Western Gazette
|October 30, 2025
HOLYROOD Academy is “highly likely” to lose some of its playing fields to make room for the town’s new primary school, Somerset Council has admitted.
The Chard eastern development area (CEDA), which lies between the A358 Tatworth Road and the A30 Crewkerne Road, was originally earmarked to deliver at least 2,700 new homes, along with 17 hectares of employment land and two new primary schools. Following delays in new homes being delivered (partially due to the ongoing phosphates crisis), the council stated in mid-September that it would be delivering a new primary school next to the existing secondary school on Zembard Lane, close to the town centre.
The council has now confirmed it is “highly likely” that this primary school will be built on the existing playing fields, and is expected to open by 2028.
