The Taunton Academy 

We are proposing to rename the school from the 1st September 2023. Given the historical links to the local area and that records seem to suggest that the school is built on what was the Pyrland estate, we are proposing the name Pyrland School.

Our plan is to retain the current school logo but remove the text referring to The Taunton Academy. There will be no insistence for students to change any of their current uniform, new uniform will still include the school logo but without the old text. As a result, there will be no cost to families or students attending the school as a result of the name change. We will over time amend/update signage, displays and any publicity material.

We would like to give all stakeholders an opportunity to comment on this, please email pyrland@huish.education The final date for comments will be Friday 30th June 2023.

Previously before it became The Taunton Academy it was called Ladymead Community School and so many people want to changed back to this name especially if the school are looking at renaming to a name that doesn’t match with what most people know this school by 

Let’s inform the powers that be that the only name it should be known as was the original Ladymead Community School

So far it’s history has been traced back to the 1960’s so nearly 50+ years before they renamed it to wipe out its history and now only 13 years yes 13! They want to do it all over again 

Lets return it back to its former glory and former name and get it renamed back to its original
