We are delighted that Teignmouth will be in the national spotlight early in September, with the arrival of the longest stage of the 2010 Tour of Britain cycle race.  This seems to be a fantastic opportunity for all of us in Teignmouth to witness a national sporting occasion at first hand.  In order that students can join in the activities in the town leading up to the finish, and so that they can witness the dramatic climax of the race, with large numbers of riders hurtling down Exeter Hill at speeds of 70 mph, the College will close at 12:30 pm on the day of the race - September 14th, and reopen the following morning as normal.

Having achieved an amazing 11 GCSE passes all at grade A*or A, Anna Baumgart and Hannah Pyne were just two of the many students celebrating today at Teignmouth Community College.  Results were outstanding for this group of 180 Teignmouth youngsters with 84% of them gaining at least 5 passes at C grade or above and over 62% achieving top grade passes in English and Maths. All subject areas achieved highly this year, especially the College specialist subjects of Maths and ICT: other core subjects did equally well, with science achieving over 80% passes at C or above and English over 72%.  It is also particularly rewarding to celebrate further success in the Creative Arts, following last year’s unprecedented 100% pass rate at the highest grades in Drama.  This year, this magnificent feat was achieved in Art, with Photography, Media and Music, not far behind.  History and textiles too achieved 90% passes at C or above.

On Wednesday 14th July, 46 Lower School students performed to a packed house the story of Young Scarlett Hood by Andrew Manners. The play looked at what happened to Little Red Riding Hood when she becama a teenager and planned an all night party with her friend Cindy Rellar. Unknown to them the Wolves are planning to kidnap her and hold her to ransom whilst an incompetent Inspector Clue tries to solve this mystery romp.
