What Okehampton College does

Okehampton College is a state-funded secondary school and sixth form located in Okehampton, Devon, United Kingdom, operating two campuses on Mill Road — the main site for Years 7-11 and the Wardhayes Campus for Post-16 (Years 12-13). The college serves students aged 11-19 across GCSEs, A Levels, BTECs, and blended Level 3 pathways, with curriculum structured around five faculties (STEM, Creative Arts, Global Studies, Linguistics and Literature, and PAVE). It is governed as part of Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, founded in January 2018 under a model uniting Co-operative values with Church of England school principles; the trust's company number is 11075564 and it is registered in England and Wales.

The college delivers education through a layered technology stack rather than proprietary product development. Curriculum delivery relies on Google Classroom, while student information is managed through Arbor MIS with the Arbor Parent App extending attendance, behaviour, and progress visibility to families. School Gateway handles parent communications, School Cloud Booking systems manage parents' evening appointments, Unifrog provides the Y7-13 careers and destinations platform, Edval Choice underpins Post-16 subject selection and timetable modelling, and Yondr Pouch provides a physical phone-management approach to focused learning. Pastoral infrastructure includes a three-tiered SEND provision (Universal, Targeted, Specialist), an Early Help Co-ordinator, a Designated Safeguarding Lead, and named SEND Leads organised by year group.

Revenue is fundamentally driven by government per-pupil funding flowing through the Dartmoor MAT, with supplementary Post-16 16-19 bursary funding and Pupil Premium grants for disadvantaged pupils. Customer-facing pricing is effectively zero — education is free at the point of delivery — with marginal parental spend on uniforms supplied through Thomas Moore in Exeter, branded PE kit, and optional Enrichment Week activities. The GTM motion is sales-led but administered rather than commercial: Years 7-11 admissions are processed through Devon County Council's coordinated admissions scheme (online via devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline or Common Application Form), while Post-16 applications are handled directly by the college via Edval Choice. Performance disclosed for 2024-25 includes an Attainment 8 score of 43.02, 61% of students achieving Grade 4+ in English and Maths, and a Post-16 A Level Progress Score of -0.04.
