Summary

North East Surrey Secondary Short Stay School (NESSSS) is a Pupil Referral Unit located in Walton-on-Thames, serving students from 17 secondary schools across the boroughs of Elmbridge, Epsom & Ewell, and Spelthorne. The school caters to a mixed-gender population of 29 pupils, with a capacity of 60, and focuses on providing support for vulnerable students, particularly those facing barriers to education.

The school operates across two sites: one in Hersham for medically vulnerable students and another in Staines for those requiring alternative provision pathways. NESSSS has a strong commitment to helping students prepare for their next steps in education or life, guided by core values of integrity, respect, and perseverance. The school has recently undergone significant improvements in both its facilities and curriculum, with a focus on delivering an ambitious and thoughtfully planned educational experience.

NESSSS also runs an outreach programme aimed at preventing permanent exclusions, working collaboratively with students, parents, and local schools. The school is dedicated to fostering a supportive community where every child is encouraged to thrive and achieve their personal goals.
