Petherton Park School

Somerset, Somerset, South West · TA6 6NA

Petherton Park School is a strikingly small independent school in Somerset, with around 15 pupils on roll. A community of this size allows staff to know every child individually, and lessons inevitably take place in intimate groups rather than crowded classrooms. The school is co-educational and non-denominational, admitting pupils from the age of 11. It is led by headteacher Ms Zoey Shelley and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
