We are delighted to be involved with the ‘River of Hope’ project, organised by the Thames Festival Trust and the British Council.
We can officially reveal that we have been included in the top 100 senior schools by The Cricketer Magazine. We are in the Schools Guide 2022 for the second year in a row, alongside some famous establishments. We are one of only 15 state schools, which is fantastic!
Thank you to Mr Pryke, Ms Tilley, Ms Mason and Mr Roberts for their continued support for cricket at SDCC during a challenging period.
Orin H is leading the way, as many of our students continue to excel in the study of personal finance. Orin has just completed the Lessons in Financial Education Certificate in record time and with an average score of 94% across the three exams.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our sixth form open evening.
South Dartmoor Learning Community Year 5 & 6 Personal Challenge Festival
Thank you so much to all those who attended our open evening. Parents/carers told us they were very impressed with the atmosphere and positivity.
Free fruit and vegetable boxes offer Devon’s children a healthy start.
A group of keen walkers recently organised South Dartmoor Community College's own Ten Tors challenge, to raise money for our Outdoor Education Department. The trekkers undertook a 35 mile route across the North Moor in Ten Tors style, including wild camping, with a medal and a pasty at the finish line.
Well done to Amelia B and Hannah B in Year 11, who have both walked an amazing 63 miles on the south west coastal path to raise money for charity. This was instead of doing the Ten Tors and the DofE, which were cancelled due to Covid.
Congratulations to Year 9 student Holly E, who has won a Devon County Cricket Club "rising star" award.
Sixth Form students at South Dartmoor Community College and Atrium will be learning some unique new skills when they start their studies this year. A purpose built coffee bar has been set up in the college, where students can train to be qualified baristas - serving students and staff as part of their volunteering commitments.
Former students Nat Salt and Mark Thomas have been awarded scholarships to attend the London Institute of Banking and Finance to study degree courses, following their outstanding achievements last year.
