Special schools provide a unique and distinctive educational environment to meet the needs of the pupils in their community. Undertaking standard tests may not be appropriate and we do not show performance data for special schools.

Pupils at Somerset Progressive School (SPS) have had negative experiences of education in the past. Many have had significant periods when they did not attend school at all. Pupils’ attendance improves dramatically once they start at the school because they trust that staff will help them. Warm relationships underpin the calm, friendly atmosphere. Pupils are polite and considerate. Pupils learn without interruption because the curriculum is appropriate, and staff know how to support them. Pupils learn to identify and manage their feelings, using strategies that are bespoke for their individual needs. Pupils are safe and happy at school. Pupils achieve well. They gain a range of qualifications that help them secure future education and employment. All pupils move on to college places that meet their needs and future aspirations. Opportunties for wider development are extensive. Pupils enjoy looking after the donkey, goats, chinchillas and other animals that are on site. They enjoy the sporting and adventurous activities that they take part in. An increasing number of pupils complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Pupils are supported to develop their talents and interests. For instance, they can learn a variety of new musical instruments and try a range of different sports.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
