Treviglas Community College is a secondary school in Newquay, Cornwall. The age range of the students is 11 to 18.
The original buildings were opened in the early 1960s but further development has taken place on a regular basis ever since, such as the library, information technology rooms and science facilities as well as the post-16 learning centre. Treviglas opened a new sports facility, The Dome, in October 2001 and, in February 2004, a new dedicated sixth form and community learning block was opened. The SportsHub, funded by Sport England, opened in 2012. From the playing fields there are views to the sea dropping down toward Porth, with the village of St Columb Minor neighbouring the college.
Treviglas was the first school in the county to receive Business and Enterprise status and was awarded an overall Outstanding by OfSTED for the second consecutive time in their most recent inspection (2012).
The college focuses on core academic subjects and vocational training for students, including Post-16 academies which teach students lifelong learning and work place skills at A-Level.
The college has around 900 students. This includes around 200 in the sixth form. The college draws students from 13 primary schools, including the town of Newquay and surrounding rural communities.
The college’s motto is: Be part of something Inspirational
The college teaches the full range of core curricular subjects - including the arts, science, social science, computing and vocational subjects to GCSE and A-Level.
The sciences are taught in the four core subjects: Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science. Foreign languages that are taught at Treviglas are French, German and Spanish across all three key stages. Students also benefit from links with partner schools in Europe and Africa.
Computing plays a large part in the college curriculum, and students can progress to Technicians Academy at Post-16, which delivers industry qualifications together with academic A-Levels.
The college has a Future Prospects programme, which develops and supports those who are identified as Gifted and Talented. OfSTED also acknowledged that the college also has outstanding provisions for students who require additional support, including those with disabilities, with the Effective Learning Centre (ELC).
The college offers the full range of academic subjects at Post-16, with added courses including Accountancy, Enterprise (which supports students looking to start a business), Media Studies, Public Services, Psychology, Philosophy and Ethics, Health and Social Care, Further Mathematics and Sport.
