History

Grammar school/Secondary Modern School

Exmouth Grammar School and Secondary Modern Schools were combined to create the comprehensive school in 1967.

Comprehensive

It became a comprehensive in 1967. In the early 1970s it was the largest school in England, with 2470. In 2008 it was the third largest after Nottingham Academy, and Ashfield Comprehensive School. [1]

Curriculum

The college has taught computer studies at GCSE and A Level for a number of years. As well as offering the core curriculum with a choice between academic and vocational subjects, the college also offers an alternative curriculum, focusing entirely on workplace skills. The options available at Key Stage 4 are extensive, and include everything from Computer Science to Health and Care.

Ofsted

The school's most recent full Ofsted inspection was in October 2017, with the most recent School inspection visit in February 2020. All of the reports since November 2017 have cited that the school requires improvement in its overall effectiveness as a school. [2]

Sites

The college has two sites, on Gipsy Lane and Green Close, connected by a secured bridge and pathway through parkland: approx. 200m. The Green Close site is primarily for Key Stage 3 (years 7 to 9) while the Gipsy Lane site caters for Key Stage 4 (years 10 to 11) and sixth form (Post-16). Both sites have undergone rapid development, with the Turner Building (1997) and Pauline Hitchings Building (2005) opening on the Green Close site and the Judith Telfer Centre (1997) and The Maths Block on the Gipsy Lane site (2016). Further major development will take place 2018-2020

The college is equipped with 900 workstations, many of which are in one of the twelve IT suites.
