South Ossett

South Ossett is the south part of the town of Ossett, in West Yorkshire, England. The north part is known as 'Ossett and Gawthorpe'.^{[citation needed]}

South Ossett is just north of Horbury with the main road of Storrs Hill Road. It is historically the least industrialised part of the town.^{[citation needed]} Much of the new building growth in Ossett has been concentrated in the South Ossett area. About 25% of Ossett's population is within the South Ossett area.^{[citation needed]} The town is next to countryside and is part of the Wakefield constituency and "Horbury and South Ossett" ward for elections.

Two schools are located on Storrs Hill Road: Ossett Comprehensive High School and St. Ignatius Catholic Primary School. The former is Ossett's only remaining high school. Previously there was a North Ossett School. The current Ossett school was previously Ossett Grammar School, where the author Stan Barstow educated during the war.^{[citation needed]}

South Ossett contains St Ignatius Church and parish centre. The parish centre provides for most people from South Ossett to cast their vote each year.^{[citation needed]}
