At Bodmin College, our mission is to provide a great quality of education so that every child can live a life full of choice and boundless opportunities.

Bodmin College is on a transformational journey to provide an inclusive and ambitious education for all learners.

In the last 12 months we:

• Improved A8 to be in line with national standards moving from 27th in Cornwall to 11th
• Are the top 10 school nationally for improvement in English A8
• Reduced fixed term suspensions by 68%
• Improved attendance by 3.61% and have been recently recognised as a high performing school within our similar schools

Our students are incredible and deserve the very best staff who are driven, compassionate and relentlessly positive in what we are seeking to achieve together. You will be joining a team who work collegiately together with a common purpose to achieve our goals.

Bodmin College is a warm, ambitious and forward-looking community school in the heart of Cornwall.
