Yeovil College has been serving the communities in South Somerset and North and West Dorset for 130 years. Our Mission Statement is: "To provide inspirational education and training for individuals, employers and the whole community." The College was first formed in 1887 when Somerset County Council began formally organising Science and Art classes in Yeovil. In 1947, the first Principal was appointed to lead Yeovil Technical College and when secondary education in the Yeovil Borough was reorganised in 1974, Yeovil College became one of the early tertiary colleges to be formed in England. Today, Yeovil College remains passionate about its role as a key provider of education and training in South Somerset and North and West Dorset. It remains committed to its role as a tertiary college for the whole community and currently supports around 5,000 full and part-time students. Our learners are at the heart of everything we do, and our study programmes cover a huge range of curriculum areas from Sport, IT, Business, Engineering, and Health & Care to Construction, Hospitality and Hair & Beauty – we have a restaurant, sports centre and a salon that are open to students, staff and the general public. We cover A Levels, Vocational courses, Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning, and with our Yeovil College University Centre, you can take your education to university level on your doorstep, without having to travel.

Our purpose at Beechen Cliff School is to develop the compassion, aspiration, balance and resilience of each pupil. When pupils leave us we want them to be at ease with themselves, to have a sense of self-worth, to be able to stand up for their beliefs and to be a valuable member of society. We are proudly traditional in our approach and offer a strong academic curriculum. Although methods of teaching and expectations of society have changed, the essence of a high quality education remains unchanged. It is these timeless qualities and Beechen Cliff’s sense of tradition that is valued by generations of parents and pupils. In both 2011 and 2014 Beechen Cliff was judged as Outstanding. Nationally our boys’ achievement is within the top ten per cent for academic attainment, with 70-80% five good GCSE grades being gained in any given year.
