School Description

Sedgemoor Manor School – previously named Mark College – is owned and operated by Priory Education and Children’s Services Ltd, a national organisation which manages a number of health, social care and educational settings. It is an independent specialist day school for children and young people with a range of Inspection report: Sedgemoor Manor School, 15–17 January 2019 Page 9 of 12 special educational needs that are associated with autism spectrum disorder. The last standard inspection was in January 2017. This judged the school to be inadequate. A further monitoring inspection found that some of the independent school standards remained unmet. A further monitoring visit took place in September 2018, which found that all the independent school standards were met. This inspection also considered a request for a material change to its registration. The request was to decrease the number of pupils the school could have on roll from 103 to 60 pupils and to extend the age range from 10 to 19 to seven to 19. Additionally, the school requested to resign its residential status and rename the school as Sedgemoor Manor School. These requests were approved. The school does not use any alternative providers. However – with staff support – post-16 students access two local further education colleges – Strode and Weston – which provide a wide range of courses in a mainstream setting. A new substantive headteacher took up post in September 2018. At this time, the proprietor closed the setting’s residential provision. As a result of this, some of the previously unmet standards are no longer applicable.
