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 720, including 50 in the Sixth Form.
The College's Post 16 provision offers a small, but thriving, learning environment for its students with a wide range of A Level subjects on offer. The College works closely with our partner and feeder schools.
Our designated primary schools are from the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula: It also enjoy links with Torpoint Nursery and Infant School, St Germans Primary School and many other primary schools in Plymouth. I am delighted that you are taking the time to view the College website.
