Plymouth College

Overview

Plymouth College is a co-educational school based in the bustling maritime city of Plymouth with the magnificent moorland, countryside and coastal landscapes of Devon and Cornwall close to hand. The school has been at the forefront of education in the South West of England since 1877 and, whilst quietly conscious of its past and traditions, it remains forward-looking and dynamic. Today, the focus is resolutely on preparing young people for the demands and expectations of the twenty-first century and for living in a world which is rapidly changing.

Our exam results are consistently above the national average but education at Plymouth College goes beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of activities such as sport, music and drama, and each pupil is encouraged to broaden his or her horizons.

We welcome pupils from all over the world including Europe, the Far East, Asia and the Americas. Boarding at Plymouth College gives pupils the chance to live life to the full and allows them a head start to living independently in the future. A home-from-home, the boarding houses are run by an enthusiastic, experienced and friendly team of resident staff
