Why Choose TCS6?
At Teignmouth Community School we are aware that the choices made at this crucial stage can open the right doors, create opportunities and build the confidence and skills to succeed and achieve later in life.
Most of our students continue with us from the school but we also welcome students from other schools and colleges. Whether you are a parent or student, we hope this guide will help you make the right decision and give a true flavour of the breadth of opportunity offered by TCS Sixth Form.
We aim to help students achieve success as well as acquire the personal and professional skills that they will need in higher education, at work, and for the rest of their lives. We are very proud of the academic results achieved by our students over recent years which are evidence of their hard work and dedication and also that of their teachers and parents. Each year a significant number of our students progress into a range of higher education providers, including the most prestigious universities. Our Level 2 vocational courses prepare students for work or further study and will usually include work experience.
As well as being successful in their chosen courses, we encourage students to participate in a broad range of extra-curricular experiences within the school, the wider community and also internationally. We are proud that so many of our students volunteer their time and take such an active role in fundraising.
The Sixth Form team is led by Laura Milsom, Head of Sixth Form and Melanie Deeks, Deputy Head of Sixth Form. Our experienced tutors compliment our excellent team of post-16 teachers. Each students’ progress and well-being is followed closely and we pride ourselves with offering a supportive and encouraging environment in which students can learn and develop.
