About

Torpoint Community College (often referred to as 'TCC') is a secondary school in south-east Cornwall, England. It educates 775 students aged 11 to 18. It started life as a 'secondary modern' school before becoming a comprehensive in the 1960s. Traditionally students lived exclusively in the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula, more recently they have been joined by a number of students travelling from Plymouth via the ferry over the River Tamar.

The school's most notable former pupils include Sheryll Murray, Conservative Member of Parliament for South East Cornwall & Jack Stephens (footballer).

Further Education (Sixth Form)

TCC's Sixth Form was opened in the late 1990s (prior to which pupils left school at 16 with some continuing their educations elsewhere) and offers a wide range of AS and A Level subjects for post-16 students.

However during the next academic year (2026-27), the sixth form will be put on a temporary closure due to a low number of interested students. The school will still accept their current year 12 students to transition to year 13 and finish their studies.
