Solid, plural, and unusually well stocked for a town this size. There are four state primaries within the town. There is one secondary, and it takes children from Street and a wide ring of villages around it. There is also a boarding school on the edge of town charging fees that would clear most local mortgages. Street is the rare small town where the schooling question is about which option you can afford rather than whether one exists.
On grades, Ofsted has published an overall effectiveness judgement for 140 settings across Somerset, and 101 of them are graded good or outstanding. That is roughly seven in ten. Five hold an outstanding grade, 32 require improvement and 7 are rated inadequate. A further 81 settings across the county carry no published grade yet, which is a gap in the record rather than a verdict on them. Worth being clear about what those numbers cover: they are a Somerset-wide picture across every graded setting in the county, not a scorecard for Street's own schools, and a county the size of Somerset contains a great deal of variation the average smooths out.
Which is the reason to check the individual inspection report for any school you are actually considering, rather than reading a county figure and assuming it applies to the one at the end of your road. Ofsted publishes every report free, and the report for the school you care about is worth more than any aggregate on any website, this one included.
Crispin School Academy is the secondary, taking eleven to sixteen year olds from Street and the surrounding villages, and it shares its campus with a further education college picking up sixteen-plus provision including A-levels and vocational courses. That campus-sharing arrangement is genuinely useful: the sixth-form transition happens without changing town, which in rural Somerset is not a small thing. On the primary side, Hindhayes Infant School and Elmhurst Junior School run the traditional infant-then-junior split, with Brookside Community Primary School as an all-through alternative, and Walton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School serving the village on the ridge to the west.
Then there is Millfield School, an independent co-educational boarding school on the edge of the village, founded in 1935 in the house and grounds originally owned by the Clark family who ran the shoe business. It caters for around 1,260 pupils, the majority of them boarders. Its presence gives Street a peculiar dual character: a town of ordinary Somerset housing with an international boarding school at its edge, the two populations sharing a postcode and a road network and very little else. It also means anyone comparing Street's schools needs to be careful about what they are comparing, because Millfield is not a local option in any meaningful sense unless you are writing the cheques.
Being named in a prospectus is not the same as being offered a place. Somerset allocates on published admissions criteria, and distance to the school gate does a lot of the deciding when a school is oversubscribed. Buying a house because it looks near a particular primary is a strategy that works right up until the year it does not. Check the school's own admissions policy and its recent allocation distances before you make an offer, not after.
The schooling here is comfortably above average without being a reason to move counties. What Street actually offers is choice at every stage inside one small town, which for a place of this size is the genuinely unusual part.
