Dartmouth Community College
It was good to meet with Chris Long, the head of Dartmouth Community College and take a tour of the school. The current low funding for Devon pupils disproportionately affects Dartmouth as it is the smallest secondary school in the county. Please check out the Fairer Funding website to join the campaign to redress the imbalance.
It was also a chance to catch up on Dartmouth's plans make further ground breaking changes. Having already been the first secondary to become federated with their neighbouring primary school, sharing the expertise of governors, it will now press for Academy Status. I fully support this move and hope that it will bring much needed investment in the schools infrastructure as well as building on the head and governors' vision for improving overall results at the College.
