Dartmouth Community College is the only secondary school in Dartmouth, Devon in the south-west of England. It is next to the A379.

Contents

Admissions

It is a part of Dartmouth Learning Campus, with Dartmouth Primary School. As from September 2007, Dartmouth Community College is part of a federation with Dartmouth Primary School and Nursery meaning that the two schools share one governing body for pupils aged 4–16.

Post 16 Education

Subjects at Post 16 2007-8
• Art & Design (AS/A2) including Creative Textiles & Photography
• Environmental Science (AS/A2)
• Geography (AS/A2)
• History (AS/A2)
• ICT—iMedia (Double Award)

We also offer Performing Arts, English Literature and Product Design, although student numbers were not sufficient to run these courses during 2007-8.
Post 16 students have Helen Buckland as Post-16 Co-ordinator and Mandy Pigott as a tutor. She registers the students and deals with pastoral issues.
They have regular tutorial and mentoring sessions. Students also take a Key Skill Level 3 Communication award which is worth 20 UCAS points.
We have a franchise partnership with South Devon College. They fund our A-Level courses and monitor our teaching and learning.
Students have the option to study all courses at Dartmouth, or combine our courses with those at South Devon if the timetables allow for this.

Dartmouth Community College


As from September 2007, we are part of the federation with Dartmouth Primary School and Nursery. This means that the two schools share one governing body and will enable us to further develop policies and practice that underpin excellent teaching and learning across the 0 - 19 age range.

As part of the federation, funding from the Department for Schools, Families and Children will improve the facilities of our site and see the construction of our sculpture studio, a new multi-purpose building and the Children’s Centre. All of these facilities will be used by our feeder schools in the Dartmouth Learning Network and the local community.

Arts College


We are establishing a distinctive identity with our Visual Arts College status.

We specialise in:
· Art & Design (including Creative Textiles and Photography)
· Drama

· Media Studies
This enables us to work to our strengths and deliver effective teaching and learning in our areas of expertise, as well as across the curriculum, and to drive innovation.

As part of being a visual arts college, we work with secondary and primary school partners, community groups and businesses.

We have a shared ‘ethos’ across the community; we have an open structure - sharing best practice within and beyond the college, focusing on personalised learning and teaching, and also providing a rich range of extra curricular activities.
