Welcome

Chulmleigh College is a highly popular fully inclusive state secondary school for pupils age 11-16. Situated in a beautiful rural location, we pride ourselves on traditional values and high academic expectations for all pupils.

In recent years our school has grown by more than 40%, as our reputation across Devon is such that we are the chosen school for many families who live a great distance outside our designated school area.  We are incredibly proud of this reputation and every member of staff works hard to sustain it.

It is part of the Chulmleigh Academy Trust, a group of three primary schools (East Worlington, Lapford and Chulmleigh) and Chulmleigh College.

COMPASSION ~ AMBITION ~ TEAMWORK

Year 8 Ten Tors Camp 2 (part one) Well done to the Year 8 Ten Tors Participants who completed their second camp this weekend! We had an extremely successful weekend. The difficulty level always steps up a notch in the second camp, and it's normal for some of the participants to decide they don't want to continue, and they choose to go home part of the way through the weekend. That didn't happen this weekend. Every one of the group completed the two days of the training, and in fact all of them opted to take an extra walk after dark on Saturday to try their hand at night navigation on Dartmoor. More than half of the group even opted to extend their night walk, and they clocked up a total distance over the weekend of over 25 miles – longer than the challenge they're training for. We had originally planned to leave tents pitched and take them down when we returned, but the forecast was for heavy rain by midday, so we took down the tents early in the morning while they were still fairly dry. As we watched the participants pack up, more than one of the adult volunteers commented on the quality of their campcraft – tents were struck quickly and efficiently, and it was great to see the level of teamwork going on, with everyone getting involved and supporting each other. When the participants did the usual sweep of the campsite after tents were packed, they had almost no litter to pick up, and there were no tent pegs or other bits of equipment left on the ground. They looked like pros! Only around half of the Year 8 participants did the camp this weekend, and the other half will be doing their second camp in a couple of weeks. This is because we still have so many participants involved (over a quarter of the year group) that we've had to split the training into two groups. The unexpectedly high numbers are causing logistical challenges, but we're not complaining - it's a testament to their resilience and determination that we've still got so many year 8s involved, despite some truly horrendous weather over the last seven months of training. Huge thanks as always to the volunteers who make this possible, who this weekend were staff volunteers Mrs Houghton, Mrs Jones and Ms Kroon, non-staff volunteers Caitlin Houghton and Simon Lassam, and my co-manager, Jon Houghton.
