Devon School Consultations

The Trustees of Dartmoor Multi-Academy Trust are consulting on a proposal to change the age range of Okehampton College from 11–18 to 11–16 by phasing out the Post-16 provision. The proposal being consulted on is as follows:

• Students currently in Years 12 and 13 will complete their studies at Okehampton’s Post-16 provision
• The last year group to be admitted into Post-16 will be in September 2025, with these students completing their courses on-site (level 2 courses) and at Tavistock College (level 3 courses)
• The Post-16 provision would formally close on 31 August 2027
• The school’s Published Admission Number (PAN) will remain at 240
