West Somerset Community College
The West Somerset Community College (sometimes abbreviated to WSCC and known informally as 'West Somerset') is a fairly large secondary school in Minehead, Somerset, England. It provides education for students aged 13 to 16 (school years 9–11) in the main school and 16 to 18 (school years 12–13) in the sixth form (West Somerset uses a three-tier school system). WSCC has had Technology College status for several years, meaning the College receives additional funding. In June 2011, the school became an Academy. The school has a partnership with a secondary school (Gymnasium) in Bünde, Germany.
The College recently gained a good Ofsted report, which stated that the College had 'a significant number of outstanding features' and most were 'good'.

“We were young, we were merry, we were very very wise,
And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.”

“The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.”

“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
