Brymore Academy (formerly Brymore School) is a boys' secondary school with
Somerset County Council at a cost of £6,000 as a Secondary Technical School of Agriculture.[2]
The school has a farm, walled garden, greenhouses and workshops including a foundry and forge.[3] The farm includes a dairy herd, beef animals, sows, poultry and a flock of ewes with lambs.[4]
Brymore offers extra-curricular activities including beekeeping, canoeing and cycling. The school is expanding to take in Year 7s.[citation needed] The school will continue to enter boys in Year 9, provided there are sufficient places available.
The main school building incorporates parts of a medieval house which was owned by
D-Day.[2] The building is designated as a Grade II listed building.[6] The boarding houses included the Grade I listed Cannington Court.[7]
The buildings and grounds of Brymore Academy are used annually during the summer break for 3 "Venture" camps called Brymore 1, 2, and 3.[8][9][10]
