Welcome to Dawlish College.

Dawlish College is a vibrant and exciting place to be, where we have the highest expectations of staff and students alike and seek to provide challenge at every available opportunity. As a small school, we have a very proud record of holistic support, care and individual attention. The happiness and well-being of our students is of paramount importance and is a vital foundation for their growth and development.

Our mission is to eradicate educational disadvantage in Dawlish; we do this by creating the conditions for our students to thrive in the here and now and to leave us with the qualifications and character to live a life full of choice and opportunity.

Dawlish College has an atmosphere of creativity and positivity that is generated by the provision of excellent opportunities for every individual. We are committed to maximising the outcomes and improving the life chances for all of the young people in our care.

It continues to be an absolute privilege to be the Headteacher at Dawlish College and as a parent myself, I understand that you want your child to be inspired, supported and challenged to be the best version of themselves within an environment that knows them and values them as an individual.

Thank you for entrusting me with the care and education of your child – present or future – and I look forward to unlocking their ambitions as I get to know them and work closely with you.
