The school's commitment to values like respect, responsibility, and resilience really resonates with me, and the staff are always available to offer support and guidance. My daughter has thrived in her new environment and has made some wonderful friends. We feel so lucky to have found this school! *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We had a bit of a mixed experience at West Somerset College. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always willing to help, but we felt that the school's approach to discipline and behavior could be improved. Our child was also a bit disappointed by the limited options for extracurricular activities. Overall, it was an okay experience, but we're not sure if we would choose to send our next child here. *(Jun 2020)*
