About South Dartmoor Community College

The College has secured 'Good' in all areas in its recent Ofsted with some of the best results in the South West for student progress. It has a strong staff team in place to ensure every child is enabled to fulfil their potential including specialist teachers at all levels. We have an excellent academic record and our pastoral support is second to none.  Our students report that they feel very happy and safe at the school. We are proud of our students and they are proud of their school. The  relationships between staff and students are strong. Community engagement is also an important feature; we have an active Parent/Teacher Association (FOSDA—Friends of South Dartmoor Academy). 


If you want to work in an inspiring, fully inclusive environment with students who want to succeed and friendly supportive staff, then we want to hear from you!
