A short video about our school and town. Please click the picture.



The South Molton Area
South Molton is a market town situated on the edge of Exmoor. The town is a typical working North Devon town with a large emphasis on agriculture. The area also hosts picturesque villages and beautiful countryside.
The College
The College has around 600 pupils, about 40% of whom live within the town and the rest are bussed in from the surrounding villages. The College has a long reputation for excellent attainment, a caring and positive ethos and for learning. Our recent Ofsted inspection stated:
“South Molton Community College is a place where students of all abilities thrive as a result of the outstanding all-round education they receive. This outstanding provision is built upon the Principal’s vision of a ‘centre of excellent education’ education and a total commitment to developing the school as a community of learners. No stone is left unturned when it comes to ensuring that every single student achieves their best and there is a remarkable consistency in the way that the school operates. This consistency is borne out of a shared belief and commitment from all staff to make South Molton a caring, challenging and rewarding place for all young people to be”.
The College is forward looking and committed to continuous improvement and the vision:
"Everyone is an individual with potential"
applies as much to staff as it does to pupils. As with all schools the key to life at the College are the staff who teach here and pupils who study here. The one overriding comment from staff, pupils and visitors is of the caring, friendly and open atmosphere that is the hallmark of life at South Molton Community College.
