Great Torrington School is excited to announce a new build project which is being completed with support from Devon County Council. Planning permission has been granted, and funding is now in place.

We’re working alongside TFQ architects to deliver a new building with additional classrooms, a new library, and several small group spaces. By creating additional classrooms, we are hoping to develop more specialised teaching areas to enhance the delivery of our curriculum.

This new building will also enable a designated dining space to be developed for our pupils. The block will be positioned within an enclosed area, of low use, having minimal impact on the rest of the school and making good use of this space. It will also be linked into the existing corridors to ensure it’s an integral part of the school.

This represents a significant investment by both Devon County Council and Great Torrington School which will ensure the school is able to serve its community and provide the best possible education and opportunities to our young people moving forward.

The aim is for the new block to open its doors to our staff and pupils in early 2023; watch this space!
