Happy Christmas from staff and students at South Somerset Partnership School!
Dear Parents,
School closes for the Christmas break on Friday 18th December 2020 and we re-open to students on Wednesday 6th January 2021. A member of staff will phone you on Monday 4th January to discuss arrangements for your child’s return on 6th.
If your child or a family member in the same household tests positive for Coronavirus during the Christmas holidays, please advise us by calling the Head Teacher on 07880 042853 or leave a message on the school answerphone, 01935 410793.

Our most recent Ofsted was in May 2018, and we were pleased with the result of this visit. Highlights for me include:
“You make sure that expectations are high. Lessons are about learning and trying your best. The learning environment is filled with positive prompts and messages to pupils.”
“You expect learning to be interesting, relevant and fun. As a result, pupils learn to apply their skills while doing practical activities that they enjoy.”
I believe, these quotes demonstrate our absolute commitment to ensuring all our pupils are able to access a high quality education, regardless of what has gone before.
Our vision remains strong; in the words of the poet Maya Angelou: ‘My vision is not that you survive, but that you thrive with passion, compassion, humour and style’.
