Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School
About Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School
Hugh Sexey Church of England Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in Somerset, and the numbers suggest a school that local families are keen to get into. The school is oversubscribed, with 620 pupils on roll against a capacity of 600, which points to genuine demand. Unfortunately, the data does not include a parent recommendation percentage, so we cannot report how many current families would endorse it. However, the oversubscription alone is a practical signal that many parents in the area see it as a strong option for the middle-school years. The headteacher is Matthew Drew, and the school has a Church of England character, which may appeal to families looking for a values-based setting. Facilities are notably broad for a middle school, including a swimming pool, theatre, chapel, and science labs, which gives a sense of the kind of provision on offer.
