Schools in Chard
Chard is a town in South Somerset with 6 primary schools and 1 secondary school, all administered by Somerset Council. Somerset uses distance as the tiebreaker for state school allocations once sibling priority has been applied. Two of Chard's schools are faith schools with religious admission criteria.
The town's secondary school serves the surrounding rural communities, and families on the southern Somerset border near the Devon boundary should also check cross-border arrangements. Somerset Council publishes all local school catchment information in its annual admissions prospectus. Applications must be submitted by the national deadlines: 31 October for secondary and 15 January for primary.
