Description

Support Services for Education (SSE) is a traded unit within Somerset County Council (SCC) that offers a wide variety of support services to all education Providers, including Schools, Academies, Further Education Colleges, Early Years Providers, Childcare Settings, Local Authorities and other establishments. As a public sector trading unit SSE provides the right balance between public sector ethos and commercial practice. SSE has no financial shareholders and operates a not for profit business model, any surplus that is generated is reinvested to improve outcomes for children and young people. This ensures that SSE delivers great value services that are continually improving.
Somerset County Council, as the Local Authority, has a statutory responsibility to externally moderate a minimum sample of 25% of its maintained schools, within both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, plus 25% of academies at each Key Stage that opt to be included in SCC's external moderation provision. The funds for this process are provided by central government and enhanced by charges made for services provided to academies.
