Beacon School Year: 2016-2017

Torpoint Community College (TCC) is situated in South-East Cornwall and is very much a part of the local community. Due to its proximity, it also enjoys close links with the urban area of Plymouth city. This results in a rich mix of urban and rural, village and city-based students and the College is very much an economic driver for the area.

The majority of students attending the College live in Torpoint or on the Rame Peninsula. It also has students from Plymouth who travel from Plymouth via the chain ferry over the River Tamar. The current number on roll is approximately 620, including our Sixth Form Student.

The College works closely with our partner and feeder schools. Our designated primary schools are from the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula:

• Carbeile Junior School, Torpoint
• Fourlanesend Community Primary School, Cawsand
• St Nicolas C of E VA School, Downderry
• Millbrook C of E VA Primary School, Millbrook
• Antony C of E Primary School, Antony

It also enjoy links with Torpoint Nursery and Infant School, St Germans Primary School and other primary schools in Plymouth.

Our aim is for all young people who attend Torpoint Community College to leave us aspiring to be the best they can be. We are committed to recognising and realising the potential in each student: of nurturing curiosity, creativity and leadership, of achieving the very highest of standards and of instilling respect and care for ourselves, each other and our environment. We aim to harness the innate drive, energy and enthusiasm of young people so they leave our College confident, knowledgeable and successful citizens, capable of learning and adapting to an uncertain future. In a nutshell – promoting ‘emotional health and wellbeing’.
