South Dartmoor Sixth Form is delighted to announce another year of excellent A Level results, further strengthening our reputation for academic excellence and commitment to student success. Our students have once again risen to the challenge, attaining impressive grades and securing their places at leading universities nationwide, including prestigious Russell Group institutions.

Richard Penhale, our ICT Systems Manager of 27 years and self-confessed tech enthusiast (or obsessive, depending on who you ask), attended the Octopus Energy Tech Summit in London on Monday—the flagship event launching London Climate Action Week. The summit brought together leading voices from the worlds of energy and technology to explore how innovation can drive sustainability.

It’s more than a little ironic that I ran the Wild Horse 200 to raise funds and awareness for Dementia UK, and now I’m sitting here, staring at my screen, trying to remember what on earth happened during the race. There are more blank spots in my memory than a dodgy VHS tape from the '90s.

The UK's best schools for cricket have been revealed in The Cricketer's Schools Guide 2025, and South Dartmoor Community College is proud to announce that it has been recognised as one of the top 25 state schools in the country for cricket. This prestigious accolade highlights the school's commitment to excellence in sports and its dedication to nurturing young talent.

The Trail Trotter runners recently experienced a fantastic run on Dartmoor during our second REACH (Realising Educational Aspirations through Expanding Cultural Horizons) session, and were blessed with unexpectedly clear weather. As the clouds parted, the group was treated to breathtaking views of the rugged landscape.

South Dartmoor Sixth Form is again celebrating impressive A Level results. Our students have maintained our strong academic tradition and, as in previous years, they have performed exceptionally well, securing places across the country at top universities including at Russell group universities such as Cardiff and Edinburgh. In addition to this, one in three students achieved an A or an A* grade and there was an outstanding overall pass rate of over 97%. Most importantly, the vast majority of students secured the grades they need to enable them to move on to their first choice for the next stage of their futures and it is these personal stories that are so very interesting and rewarding.
