SSPS is a Complex Pupil Referral unit that was formed in 2013. We work hard to provide education for any child or young person who is unable to attend their mainstream school in South Somerset. All our pupils are at risk of exclusion, permanently excluded or suffering with medical or mental health needs that require a period of time out of school.

Our Year 11 pupils are expected to work hard to achieve the very best that they can and we are proud of their results.

We know that a number of our pupils have had some difficulty whilst they were at school, and not all will achieve examination results, however we take our responsibility to ensure they are well prepared for the next stage of their education very seriously. We use the Thrive assessment tool to identify and fill any developmental gaps in our pupils, and we hope this will give them the resilience to continue learning after they have left school. We also work hard to ensure all our pupils have a destination at the end of Year 11. Only 2 out of 29 pupils are not in employment, education or training once leaving school- this is a testament to the hard work and care taken whilst pupils are on our roll.
