The Taunton Deane Partnership College is a Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) based on 6 sites across the Taunton Deane area in Somerset.

The TDPC works closely with partner schools and professionals. The majority of students who attend our Centres are dual registered with their mainstream schools but need additional support due to their social, emotional and mental health needs.
