For the seventh year in a row we are ­celebrating a further significant increase in GCSE results with a record 67% of students achieving 5 or more grades A*- C including English and ­Mathematics.

Newton Abbot College is an exciting place to learn. The College has undergone ­extensive refurbishment and regeneration over recent years and these improvements are keeping pace with the improvement in teaching and learning.

Ofsted have once again given the seal of approval to students and staff, placing it securely in the 'good' category. Students reach above average standards by the end of Year 11 and in English and Maths students make 'rapid progress'.

'Teachers have high expectations and, as a result, students have good attitudes to learning.' Ofsted 2014.

College staff strive to ensure all students experience success from the day they start and encourage and inspire them to achieve their best in an atmosphere of calmness, trust and support.

'Students' spiritual, moral, social and ­cultural development is promoted ­exceptionally well. This enhances the ­harmonious atmosphere and ethos of mutual respect in school.' Ofsted 2014.

Students' enjoyment of College is reflected in their excellent attendance, which is above average, and they regularly put themselves ­forward to take on leadership responsibilities and take part in the many and varied ­enrichment activities.
