A NEW school for more than 100 pupils will open near to the A303 by 2023.
Somerset County Council has successfully convinced the Department for Education (DfE) to build a new specialist free school west of the existing dual carriageway between the villages of Ash and Tintinhull near Yeovil.
The new school will be constructed by the DfE and provide more than 100 places for children with “social, emotional and mental health needs” between the ages of five and 16.
The school will be managed by the Wave Multi-Academy Trust, which currently runs more than a dozen specialist schools in Devon and Cornwall.
